In a July 7, 2021 press release, CISSS de l’Outaouais stated that single dose vaccination coverage for the region had reached 72.1 per cent. That leaves 28,300 to be vaccinated in order to reach the provincial target of 75 per cent. The health authority saw an influx of the Pfizer vaccine and are now offering it without an appointment.
