The prioritization proposed by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) for the groups to be vaccinated is as follows:

1. Vulnerable people and people with a significant loss of autonomy who live in residential and long-term care centres (CHSLDs) or in intermediate and family-type resources (RI RTFs); | In progress
2. Workers in the health and social services network who have contact with users; | In progress
3. Autonomous or semi-autonomous people who live in private seniors' homes (RPAs) or in certain closed residential facilities for older adults; | In progress
4. Isolated and remote communities; | N/A
5. People 80 years of age or older; | In progress
6. People 70 to 79 years of age; | In progress
7. People 60 to 69 years of age; | In progress
8. Adults under 60 years of age who have a chronic disease or health problem that increases the risk of complications of COVID 19; | In progress

   • People in this category do not have to do anything in particular to get vaccinated or to make an appointment.
   • Vaccination will be carried out on the recommendation of an attending physician in specific circumstances, namely, for:
     • People who are currently hospitalized with a condition that puts them at risk of complications from COVID-19;
     • Patients who receive renal dialysis treatment in hospital, transplant recipients and those receiving cancer treatment;
     • People who have to receive a dose of vaccine under the supervision of an allergologist in a hospital. Pharmacists can also help reach people with these conditions who cannot get vaccinated in hospitals.

9. Adults under 60 years of age who do not have a chronic disease or health problem that increases the risk of complications, but who provide essential services and have contact with users; | In progress
   • Consult the list of workers in this group
   • They must bring proof of employment with them to their appointment.
