Quebec’s Ministry of Health and Social Services is saying that as of Tuesday morning it is now possible for people booking an appointment for their second vaccine dose to modify the location and type of vaccine directly through the clicsante online platform. Although the platform will still offer suggested locations near the original vaccination site, people will no longer be tied to the exact same location as their first dose.
On Monday evening Health Minister Christian Dubé put out another call for people 18-39 years of age to get their vaccination, pointing out that there are still roughly 127,000 people in that age category who have not done so.

On Friday, Quebec’s Ministry of Health issued a decree stating that healthcare workers in some settings will have to provide proof that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Those who refuse will be reassigned or put on leave without pay.
Can the government of Ontario or workplaces require workers to be vaccinated in order to work?
Simple answer: Yes. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers have a duty to maintain a safe work environment and take all reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of workers.
But it’s complicated. Workplace requirements can’t contravene federal or provincial human rights legislation. For example, a worker may argue that they can’t be vaccinated because of a documented disability such as an a previous allergic reaction to a vaccine or for a religious reason.
