We want to vaccinate. My nurses are all retired. They come out of retirement to vaccinate people. We wait, we are ready
, emphasizes Ms. Paquette.
Elsewhere in Quebec, the government describes success
vaccine deployment
<q data-attributes="{"lang":{"value":"fr","label":"Français"},"value":{"html":"Confirmé: the AstraZeneca operation is a success “,” text “:” Confirmed: the AstraZeneca operation is a success “}}” lang = “fr”>Confirmed: the AstraZeneca operation is a success, wrote the Minister of Health Christian Dubé on Twitter Wednesday, recalling that 120,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered since last Thursday, including 23,600 Tuesday.
Vaccine incentive, regardless of which
The mayor of Saint-Georges, Claude Morin, asks citizens to go get vaccinated to try to stop the spread, regardless of the vaccine.
The numbers keep increasing every day. We don’t understand. We hope that it will stop, says the mayor, who points out that many people follow the instructions, despite the number of cases.
I remain convinced that the solution to this crisis is to get vaccinated
, he believes, adding that his wife has also received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Twenty-three people have lost their lives in Saint-Georges since the start of the pandemic, recalls the mayor.
He invites people to attend the parks in compliance with sanitary measures, rather than gathering elsewhere.
CHSLDResidential and long-term care center in full bloom
In addition to workplaces, healthcare settings are also responsible for an increase in the number of cases in recent days.
The CHSLDResidential and long-term care center de l’Assomption, in Saint-Georges, has been struggling with a major outbreak since April 4. There are 39 active cases among residents and 21 among employees. Two deaths are also added. Residents of this CHSLDResidential and long-term care center received a first dose of the vaccine on January 7.
It’s hard to say exactly where the outbreak originated in the middle
, explains Julie Lambert, deputy director of public health for Chaudière-Appalaches.
Presumably, there was someone who brought the virus into the environment and then it went unnoticed with few symptoms. The cases have multiplied. It is also the variant that we find. The variant is more contagious, it makes the curve accelerate
, she believes.
Vaccination is believed to have surely served to protect people and prevent complications and death
, adds the deputy director.
