COVID Vaccination in Listuguj

However, children 12-17 years old who received their first dose from the Listuguj Health Center will be contacted for their second dose.

Vaccines are currently being offered by the CISSS and pharmacies in our region, making vaccination readily accessible to our population. Walk-in Clinics will be held in Pointe-à-la-Croix over the next two weeks. We encourage any community members who wish to receive a first or second dose to do so at these clinics.
