Quebec will begin vaccinating its general population aged 85 years and older starting next week.
Premier Francois Legault says anyone born in 1936 or before can begin registering for an injection on Thursday.
Legault says authorities will focus on vaccinating people in the greater Montreal area because of the high number of infections in the region.
He made the announcement at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, the site of one of the province’s future mass vaccination clinics.
