The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) has announced that the vaccination campaign to offer a new booster dose to priority clienteles began on August 15 in several living environments welcoming elderly or vulnerable people. As with previous vaccination campaigns, teams will be deployed in living environments such as residential and long-term care centers (CHSLDs).
