Alberta to start vaccinating small kids against COVID with Moderna by end of July
Edmonton mom Ashley Crosty will “one hundred per cent” vaccinate her kids, who are five months are three years old.
Alberta expects to receive an initial supply of the vaccine from the federal government and begin offering it to small children by the end of the month, Alberta Health spokesperson Lisa Glover said Thursday. Dr. Tehseen Ladha, an Edmonton-based pediatrician, said she was thrilled about the COVID vaccine becoming available for small children.
"We've seen, even in adults, that the COVID vaccine, although its efficacy wanes against infection – the effectiveness against getting severe illness tends to remain," she said. "I think we'd be just more comfortable vacationing [and] expanding our circle of people that we've been interacting with."She said she is going to wait between six months and a year before deciding whether to inoculate her children.Pediatrician expects slow uptake
