Here’s what you can do to stop the spread of the flu

[Andy Riga, Montreal @andyriga]

Quebec only recommends the flu shot to pregnant women, people 75 and older, and people over 6 months with specific chronic conditions

So far, there are very few flu cases in Quebec and the rest of Canada. In the U.S., some states are seeing high activity levels

[Andy Riga, Montreal @andyriga]

Quebec only recommends the flu vaccine for the most vulnerable, and only provides it for free to certain people.

But an expert I interviewed (@MatthewOughton) says all Quebecers should be encouraged to get the shot and it should be free for all

Quebec may follow Ontario's lead and drop its five-day self-isolation rule for people with Covid.

The province hopes to double weekly vaccinations to 200,000 over the coming weeks.

It's not considering reimposing any pandemic restrictions.

Queen Elizabeth had a front-row seat for Quebec’s shifting allegiances during her 10 visits to the province.

Cheering throngs of the 50s gave way to protests by nationalists and a riot in the 60s. Starting in the 80s, she was received with indifference.
