Pop-up clinics, phone line launched to reach Quebec's unvaccinated

Quebec will launch pop-up clinics and a phone line to reach unvaccinated citizens in an effort to increase first vaccinations in regions where rates are lowest.

Junior health minister Lionel Carmant made the announcement on Monday.

"We want to go meet people in the field. We want to explain the pros of vaccination by using a positive approach," said Carmant.

Carmant said a phone line will soon be up to answer concerns about the vaccine for those who are hesitant.

Beginning Thursday, a pop-up clinic will open at the CLSC Sainte-Catherine in Montreal's downtown core.
