The Government of Canada announced today additional pediatric COVID-19 vaccine doses have arrived on Canadian soil. Yesterday, a shipment of 1.136 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 pediatric vaccine arrived in Canada, meaning that children aged 5 to 11 in Canada will be able to receive their second dose as soon as they are eligible.
The Government of Canada will be working closely with provinces to distribute doses as quickly as possible.
A media release from the federal government says vaccination, along with public health measures, remains the best way to protect the health of individuals and communities against COVID-19.
