The population of Centre-du-Québec is less vaccinated than that of Mauricie.
As proof, 60% of municipalities in the region have not crossed the 80% threshold, while in Mauricie this rate is only 10%.
These are data obtained by Radio-Canada.
Public Health was unable to provide an explanation for this strong difference.
In Victoriaville, 84.8% of the population received two doses and 54.4% a booster dose.
In Plessisville, these figures are respectively 85.9% and 54.1%.
Note that there should be a seventh wave this fall, because the number of cases has been growing since the abolition of several health measures.
