Quebec is offering COVID-19 booster shots to seniors in the province aged 70 and older.
At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé said all residents in long-term care homes (CHSLDs) will be offered a third dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Dubé says public health is recommending people aged 70 and older take the booster shot six months after the second.
