Ensure Kids 5 and Up Get the Right COVID-19 Vaccine Dose

January 2022

More questions will come up about COVID-19 vaccines for kids...now that Pfizer-BioNTech's Comirnaty is approved down to age 5.

Data suggest this vaccine has about 90% efficacy in kids age 5 to 11...and has side effects (sore arm, etc) similar to older patients.

Expect your province to provide guidance on timing of doses...many are recommending 2 doses at least 8 weeks apart.
