COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday after experiencing “exceptional demand” from the 12 to 17 age group.Carl Theriault of the Integrated Health and Social Services University Network for West-Central Montreal said that while appointment booking for youth aged 12 and up formally starts on Tuesday, officials at the walk-in clinic at Bill-Durnam arena decided to begin accepting teens over the weekend.He said the word quickly spread, resulting in a Sunday morning lineup that stretched around the block.
Most of the demand appeared to be coming from young people and their families, he added.“There were a lot of people, it spread a lot on social media,” he said.Theriault said the clinic ran out of doses by 9 a.m.
