Eligible people will be able to make an appointment to receive their first dose on May 24 in Ontario and ten days earlier, on May 14 in Quebec.
In the French-speaking province, the age group will be lowered by five years every two days from this Friday.

"With the deliveries of vaccines that we will receive in May and June and thanks to the increase in the doses of Pfizer, we will be able to give a first dose to all adult Quebecers who want it by June 24," Quebec Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, during a press conference.
Until now, only people over the age of 60 could receive the serum.
