Five to Eleven-Year-Olds in These Toronto Neighbourhoods Will First Receive COVID-19 Vaccines

Toronto Public Health has released Team Toronto Kids COVID-19 Vaccination Plan for vaccinating children aged five to eleven against COVID-19.

The plan includes vaccinating kids at five City-run immunization clinics, school-based clinics, hospital and community-based clinics, pharmacies and a number of pediatric and family physician practices.

 

According to the press release, Toronto Public Health has identified 30 neighbourhoods for the first roll-out of the school-based clinics.

Toronto says Team Toronto Kids COVID-19 Vaccination Plan is needs-based, data-driven, and equity-focused which will provide access to COVID-19 vaccinations to more than 200,000 eligible five to 11 year-olds living in Toronto.

The analysis included COVID-19 case rate during wave four of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination rates in the 12 to 17 year-old population as a proxy for anticipated vaccine uptake in five to 11 year olds.

The analysis also included the percentage of residents in each neighbourhood who fall below the low income measure, the proportion of racialized individuals, and the percentage of people living in crowded housing.

List of Priority Neighbourhoods:

  • Bendale
  • Black Creek
  • Brookhaven-Amesbury
  • Clairlea-Birchmount
  • Dorset Park
  • Downsview-Roding-CFB
  • Eglinton East
  • Elms-Old Rexdale
  • Englemount-Lawrence Flemingdon Park
  • Glenfield-Jane Heights
  • Humbermede
  • Islington-City Centre West
  • Kingsview Village-The Westway
  • L’Amoreaux
  • Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown
  • Malvern

  • Rouge
  • Scarborough Village
  • Thorncliffe Park

Announing the plan, Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa said, “It’s essential that children aged 5 to 11 are vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect them from contracting this virus, and to provide critical protection to members of their family, those around them at school and to our entire community, and I encourage everyone to get the best protection against this virus as soon as they are eligible.”

Health Canada has not yet approved the COVID-19 vaccine for five to eleven year olds.

      Your article states that, “Health Canada has not yet approved the COVID-19 vaccine for five to eleven year olds”. There are plenty of good reasons why it has not and should not be approved. Here are a couple of things that have been found by lab technicians – parasitic hydras and that black poisonous stuff called graphene oxide (all are in minute amounts but still do their damage). Not to mention all of the adverse reactions like pericarditis and myocarditis in young boys and men and also Guilliane Barre syndrome. I could go on. Why do you post an article that leaves out this information so people could actually be informed? Also – what do you do if you get covid (which is pretty much like getting a cold/flu)? Take some effective natural remedies and get rid of it.
