March 3, 2021: COVID-19 vaccination update from the office of Jennifer Maccarone, MNA for Westmount–Saint-Louis


March 4th, 2021

Vaccination in pharmacies *new*

It has been announced that 350 pharmacies located on the island of Montreal will be able to vaccinate Quebecers against COVID-19 as of March 15, 2021. This announcement will allow our seniors to be vaccinated more quickly and to have access to sites located closer to their homes. 

We ask the population not to contact pharmacies before this date. We will send you a new communication once we have more details on how to book an appointment for the vaccination in a pharmacy.

Please refrain from burdening Clic Santé with attempts to register unless you fall into the current age category. This will improve the ability of our CIUSSS to include more age groups as soon as possible. 

Booking an Appointment by Phone 

A call center has been set up to serve you. The number to call for your appointment is 514-644-4545. The lines are open 7 days a week, between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

Booking an Appointment Online 

You may visit www.quebec.ca/covidvaccine. The website will direct you to the Clic Santé platform to book your appointment.  

  • Once on the Clic Santé site, you will need to select the “COVID-19 vaccine” service, then enter your postal code. You must have your health insurance card on hand. 
  • Once your postal code has been entered, you will be offered vaccination clinics near you, as well as a time slot. You will choose the point of service as well as the time for the vaccination.  
  • You will be asked a series of questions regarding your health status, including whether you have any symptoms related to COVID-19. During your in-person visit, a nurse will revalidate the information entered during the virtual appointment booking process. 
  • A “vaccination coupon” will be sent to you. You must have a valid email address. 

On the day of your appointment for your vaccination, please only arrive within 10-15 minutes of your scheduled time. This will help to avoid long line-ups and waiting time. 

Availabilities *new*

We are aware that there are currently delays and that some locations may no longer have availabilities. We encourage you to visit the Clic Santé website frequently as new time slots become available on a regular basis. 

Couples and caregivers *new*

Spouses or caregivers aged 60 years or older who accompany seniors aged 70 and older for their vaccination may receive the vaccine at the same time.

Vaccine *new*

At this time, the vaccines being administered at the vaccination sites in Westmount–Saint-Louis are those of Moderna and Pfizer. It is not possible to choose between the two. 

Second Dose  

The government has stated that the second dose will be administered within 90 days. At the time of vaccination, an appointment date will be confirmed for your second dose.
