TORONTO – Starting on July 28, parents and caregivers of children five and under will be able to get their kids vaccinated against COVID-19.
“The approval of a lower dose pediatric Moderna vaccine will give families the opportunity to provide an additional layer of protection against COVID-19 for the youngest members of their families,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health.
The public can begin making their appointments starting July 28 through the COVID-19 vaccination portal or directly through their public health unit’s Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre booking system, as well as, at participating pharmacies and Indigenous-led vaccination clinics. This includes up to $200 a day, for up to three days, if they need to get tested, vaccinated, receive booster shots, self-isolate, or care for a family member who is ill from COVID-19. The government will continue to reimburse eligible employers for the paid leave days.
