Ontario parents can book COVID−19 vaccine appointments for their babies and preschoolers starting today.
The province’s booking portal will open for pediatric vaccine appointments for children aged six months to under five years at 8 a.m.
Families can also make appointments by calling 1-833-943-3900, as well through some primary care providers and some pharmacies.
Clinics for the youngest age group are scheduled to ramp up across the province in the coming days and some are planning to host appointments today.
Health Canada approved Moderna’s low-dose pediatric shot this month and Ontario’s health minister says the vaccine is safe, effective and will help protect children from the virus.
Immunocompromised youth aged 12 to 17 will also be able to schedule second booster doses starting today if six months have passed since their first booster dose.
