Will I have to book my second dose appointment for my child?
Individuals who use the COVID-19 vaccination portal can book their child’s second dose appointment after they have received their first dose, at an interval of eight weeks. Individuals whose child receives their vaccine at a pharmacy should discuss with the pharmacy location about how they are booking second doses. Primary care providers will work with parents and caregivers whose children they vaccinate with a paediatric COVID-19 vaccine to book a second dose appointment.
Are there enough doses for every child?
Yes. Ontario is expected to receive 1,076,000 doses of the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in the first shipment from the federal government, which will be sufficient supply to provide a first dose to every eligible child.
