Vaccine Program Expanded

The province has opened up the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to people aged 12 years and over.

The Moderna vaccine is open to people aged 18 and over.

The drug maker says its vaccine is safe for younger people but Health Canada has yet to approve it for those 12 and over.

Both vaccines were opened to everyone 20 and over earlier this week.

The province is hoping to get a first dose to all eligible people who want one by sometime next month.
