Quebec says its flu vaccination program “aims to reduce hospitalizations and mortality in people who are most at risk. The aim is not to prevent all cases of flu.”

Quebec only recommends the flu vaccine for the most vulnerable, and only provides it for free to certain people. But an expert I interviewed (@MatthewOughton) says all Quebecers should be encouraged to get the shot and it should be free for all https://t.co/ZEvAz6pnnq

In my latest @mtlgazette story, I look at the flu season, which is expected to begin any day now and could be severe. Vaccinations help but in Quebec, there are conflicting messages about who should get the shot #thread https://t.co/ZEvAz67e9i

Quebec may follow Ontario's lead and drop its five-day self-isolation rule for people with Covid. The province hopes to double weekly vaccinations to 200,000 over the coming weeks. It's not considering reimposing any pandemic restrictions. https://t.co/uNOyxEMl5A @mtlgazette

Queen Elizabeth had a front-row seat for Quebec’s shifting allegiances during her 10 visits to the province. Cheering throngs of the 50s gave way to protests by nationalists and a riot in the 60s. Starting in the 80s, she was received with indifference. https://t.co/c0pedxooGs
