OTTAWA — Health Canada approved Pfizer’s COVID\u002D19 vaccine today for use in children between six months and four years old.

The federal department says after a thorough and independent scientific review of the evidence, it concluded the benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech’s Comirnaty vaccine outweigh the potential risks for kids.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Health Canada says it is approving a three-dose primary series of the vaccine for children under five, with three weeks between the first and second doses and eight weeks between the second and third doses. The department says the jabs, which target the original strain of COVID-19, remain effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death.

The government recently approved a newer version of Moderna’s vaccine that targets the Omicron variant of COVID-19, but its use has not yet been approved for the youngest cohort.Share this article in your social network

Health Canada approves Pfizer BioNtech vaccineDespite it's potential risks, Health Canada has approved Pfizers BioNtech vaccine for children aged six months to four years old.

Opinion: With a few creative tax solutions, Canada could afford to increase its health care spendingIncreased staffing for our public health care system will not happen overnight, but they will never happen without adequate funding Start by not 'losing' the funds It is more than clear that the money spent in the health care system in Canada is not well managed. Canada spent more in health than any other country with similar health system and offer much less and less effectively! Hire more front line staff, less administrators/managers.
