To make an appointment online these are the steps to follow
- Go to https://portal3.clicsante.ca/ (Select Covid-19 vaccine, enter your postal code and click search)
- You will be directed to a new page/tab, browse the options and choose the location nearest you. Be careful when selecting in the list, Magog is listed under the Gaspé Peninsula locations.
- A window will pop up reminding you of the current priority group click to “close” the window
- Answer the questions and click continue. Note: The age listed in the English questions is incorrect, 85 is listed instead of 80.
- You will now be directed to a calendar. Click on the date in which you would like to have your vaccination. If the calendar is blank or if it says “full” is means there are no availabilities for that location. Try another location or check back regularly as new dates will become available.
- Next you will have to complete a form and will need an email address and your medicare card number.
- A caregiver can get vaccinated on the same day as you if they are 70 years of age or older, and provide support, three days a week or more, to their loved one who is over 80 years old. Only one accompanying person can get vaccinated per person in the priority group. Remember to register your caregiver after you make your appointment. Regardless of the time selected for their appointment, they will be able to get vaccinated at the same time as you.
