It seems like there is a lot of confusion as to who can get their vaccination, and when. Here is the schedule that has been set up for the Montreal area:

• Friday Nov. 6: Parents with children younger than six months old, people with suppressed immune systems, and families with members who have suppressed immune systems but can’t get the vaccine.
• Monday, Nov. 9: Pregnant women, children aged six months to five years and their parents.
• Monday, Nov. 16: People under 18 with chronic medical problems.
• Monday, Nov. 23: People aged 18 to 65 with chronic medical problems.
• Monday, Dec. 7: All other adults and children over five years of age.

Please make sure you bring your medicare card with you because this is a requirement in order to receive the vaccine. The clinics are open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Here is a list of Montreal-area clinics, but please check with http://www.pandemiequebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.aspx.html, as it is subject to change.
