With more demand for vaccine than supply provinces are coming up with ways to stretch the doses.

Quebec is now recommending that people who already had COVID-19 and recovered should only get a single dose.

Despite strict protocols when it comes to preparing, handling and distributing COVID-19 vaccines, there are cases when there are leftover vials at the end of the day.

“Sometimes we’ll have someone who is 85 who will come in, who made a mistake and didn’t take an appointment when they thought they did, so we’ll take their name and phone number and keep it,” says CIUSSS de L’ouest de L’ile de Montreal assistant director Talia Toledano.

“We have a board by age group and then if we have leftovers we call from the oldest person on the list to come and get their vaccine.”

Mike Armstrong reports.
