These spots will be open on a first-come-first-served basis and will be available to priority groups 25 and older.

Priority groups include individuals working in health and social services, vulnerable people, seniors with a loss of autonomy, people with chronic health problems, and people living in isolated communities, according to the INSPQ.

The vaccination centre will administer Pfizer and Moderna doses and is officially open as of Thursday, May 13.
