Calling Montreal the epicentre of the North American monkeypox outbreak, health officials in the city said on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, they were expanding vaccination against the disease to all men who have sex with men.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says two cases of monkeypox in Quebec are the first confirmed cases in the country.

The federal government on Wednesday, December 15, 2021, advised Canadians against non-essential international travel in an effort to protect against the Omicron variant, while Ontario and Quebec announced thousands of new COVID-19 infections.
