The government hopes the initiative will make it easier for parents with young children to get their shot, as they could bring their children with them in the car. It’s also seen as an easier way for people with mobility issues to get vaccinated.
Lynne McVey, executive director of the West Island CIUSSS, said the health authority has been working on finding ways of vaccinating the most people possible while using the smallest number of personnel.
The drive-through site is in line with that idea, she said, and the CIUSSS will share what it learns from the site with other health boards to help them develop their own.
