Ontario’s eligibility announcement comes after Health Canada authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster for kids five to 11 last week

The province says kids in that age group will be eligible for a bivalent dose starting Dec. 21.

The announcement comes after Health Canada authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster for kids five to 11 last week. Public Health Ontario data shows 40 per cent of kids aged five to 11 have completed a primary series of a COVID-19 vaccine. The province is recommending kids five and older get a booster if it’s been six months since their last dose, or three months for those at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

Health Minister Sylvia Jones says that as the weather gets colder and people gather for the holidays, vaccinations are still the best protection against serious impacts of COVID-19 and the flu.

Is this the one that was only tested on 8 mice? Good recommendation.

Good luck getting to 20%. Probably tough to get 10% now.

Stop putting this experimental serum in our children.

So if the vaccine effects only last say six months like previously suggested ; why would you give a 5 year old the shot. To “stay up to date” are you saying they have to get them for the rest of their life?! Like it makes no sense KIDS ARE NOT HIGH RISK FOR COVID.

Vax your kids and prebook your er visits while you're at it. Who needs natural immunity.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis who was just re-elected in a historic landslide vote announces Grand Jury investigation into Big Pharma and their Covid vaccines... A must watch video...

What happened to journalism? Why aren't you mentioning the lack of evidence supporting this? Or the fact that many countries have stopped vaccinating healthy young people due to risks out weighing the benefit?

Lol imagine being such a failure of a parent to inject your kids with this shit

State sanctioned murder by experimental injection. Your children are the guinea pigs.

What fool would do that to their kids. Shame on NACI for accepting the Pfizer graft to let this through.

Can we please stop calling it a vaccine cuz it's not...
