Ontario has announced the province will extend eligibility to the Pfizer vaccine to all children born in 2009.
Currently, only those aged 12 and above on the date of vaccination is eligible for COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario.
Canada has only approved Pfizer vaccine for those 12 to 18 years old.
Ontario says the province made the decision after monitoring data from Alberta and British Columbia, and these provinces have offered the Pfizer vaccine to youth born in 2009 for several months with no risks identified.
Starting on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, all children turning 12 years old before the end of 2021 will be eligible to receive their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and can book their appointment through the provincial booking system, through their public health unit, or pharmacies, or can walk-in to vaccination clinics across the province.
