Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced the details of the COVID-19 vaccination plan for children Tuesday evening, as he hopes to end the health emergency.
"I can imagine that it can cause some concern," the premier said. "I want to try to reassure parents of Quebec first."
Legault said there were even more tests performed throughout the world for the children's vaccine, and that it is safe. After an adequate number of children are vaccinated, the premier said the health emergency will end.
"We are a nation that can pull together when necessary," said Legault. "We will vaccinate children first and then we will lift the health emergency."
He said the government did not have any plans to lift the mask mandate in classrooms yet, and asked citizens to respect health regulations - including the maximum of 10 people at private gatherings - as the holidays approach.
