A Toronto physician has administered COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of children under the age of five, according to a report, though Health Canada has not authorized the vaccines for this age group.

Dr. Christopher Sun, a family doctor who practices in Weston-Mount Dennis northwest of Toronto, told the Toronto Star that he administered COVID-19 vaccines to roughly 500 ineligible kids between the ages of six months and five years during a three-month period, until public health officials intervened in March 2022.
