MONTREAL Quebec s vaccination campaign against COVID-19 accelerated in Montreal on Monday as mass vaccination sites, including at the Olympic Stadium and the downtown convention centre, opened to city residents as young as 70.
And while some people grumbled about long lines, one of the largest vaccination centres had virtually no wait times by mid-afternoon. Julie Provencher, a spokeswoman with the health authority for east-central Montreal, asked people not to be too harsh because it was the first day.
The good cheer of the first day of Quebec s mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign was marred for many Montreal seniors by the long lines to get their shots.
