Less than seven percent of Canadian children under five years old have received a COVID-19 vaccine after Health Canada approved Moderna shots for the age group almost four months ago, followed by its approval of Pfizer shots in September.
Statistics from the federal government’s website indicate that as of Oct. 9, 6.5 percent of children aged 0 to 4 have received at least one vaccine dose, and only one percent of the age group have completed their primary vaccination series.
