As COVID-19 vaccinations open to young children, OPH receives enough to cover 10 per cent of those eligible in first week

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches expects relatively strong demand for the pediatric vaccine.

Children under five have been the only major population group not to qualify for immunization. Though some people are questioning how long it will take to get an appointment, both OPH and the province are not anticipating any shortages of pediatric vaccine.

But Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth, a Glebe family physician known for her “Jabapalooza” mass vaccination events, questions why more doses were not made available for the newly eligible children as soon as possible. “We continue to work closely with and are grateful for the support of primary care providers to ensure that those who want to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to their younger patients, can do so,” said Kennedy.Article content
