Bank aims to add capacity and resources to support access to
immunization.

MONTRÉAL, April 8, 2021 /CNW
Telbec/ - In order to contribute to the current vaccination effort
in Québec and support their communities, Bell, Couche-Tard, Groupe
CH, METRO and National Bank are teaming up to set up two COVID-19
vaccination clinics in Montréal and Brossard.
These clinics, which will be at the Bell Centre and the Bell
Sports Complex in Brossard, are
meant to support the work of the healthcare network and pharmacies,
and help accelerate the pace of the vaccination campaign among the
general public by adding resources and capacity.
Residents of the Greater Montréal area, including almost 50,000
employees of the five companies and members of their immediate
family, will have access to the vaccination clinics, based on the
order of priority established by the government. The group is also
continuing discussions with the healthcare network to set up
additional clinics.
Bell, Couche-Tard, Groupe CH, METRO and National Bank have
committed to contributing the $4
million needed to set up and operate the clinics, including
the sites, staff and logistical support.
The vaccination clinics are expected to open in early May.
Appointments to be vaccinated at one of the sites will be available
in due course through the Ministère de la Santé et des Services
Sociaux du Québec Clic Santé platform.
