12 and older will be eligible to book their COVID-19 vaccinations, and in Manitoba, those 12 and up may be able to start booking by May 21. This move to lower the age of eligibility follows Health Canada’s approval last week of the Pfizer vaccine for those 12 and older. Meanwhile, trials are under way among children under 12. But as more vaccines become available to younger age groups, health professionals are debating when and how children should be vaccinated.
For children with underlying health conditions at risk of severe clinical outcomes related to COVID-19, “it makes perfect sense” to vaccinate them, Dr. Baral said. But, he said even though he believes the vaccine is safe for those 12 and up, as approved in Canada, he questions the argument for vaccinating children to achieve herd immunity. In a recent opinion piece in, he and his co-authors said the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines are enormous for adults, but relatively minor for children.
As such, instead of holding mass immunization clinics for children, Dr. Baral said it would be a good idea to offer vaccines to them in settings where family doctors, nurse practitioners, pediatricians or pharmacists can have discussions with parents and children so they can make an educated and informed decision.
But, he said, vaccinating adults aggressively will have a much greater effect on preventing the health care system from becoming overwhelmed than vaccinating children – and there are still many adults in Canada who have not received vaccines. Moreover, Canada must consider the vaccination needs of other countries, he added.“We, as a global partner, have to start looking at when is too much.

All of the vaccines are safe right?
Trials show that Covid vaccines ARE NOT SAFE FOR KIDS. Teenagers have died in the US from blood clots caused by the Pfizer vaccine. This is recorded in VAERS. This is real, verified data.
You don’t have to read this entire article to know it’s more of that white man’s burden crap, reframed for white liberals, consumed by white guilt. The West controls the world’s wealth and keeps developing countries impoverished and sick. Better people’s lives with equality.
Propaganda.
yes
Not until all adults have a chance to be vaccinated in the country, not province by province. If Alberta is starting 12+ then those jabs should be sent to another province.
Nope get fucked
Are they now? Little to no trials with kids, no long term studies. All rushed through as part of “Operation Warp Speed.” We could be making a massive mistake. And why the push to jab kids? 99.99%?survival rate.
Can you please leave this innocent children alone. They are not at any risk of any kind. Let them be.
Why don't u ask women who no longer get their period since taking the shot if anyone should be taking this 'vaccine'?
They haven't been proven safe for anybody. I guess you have to be another propaganda arm for the Libs to keep getting your money.
Yes.
Our country can’t get enough supply due to a scattered procurement practice, and that’s why we are having this discussion. Everyone should be vaccinated, including the kids! So please ship in more vaccines to our country! JustinTrudeau
They are pushing this insanity now. Vaccinations for kids that have 0 mortality from covid 19. Please, I beg you, leave the kids out of this!
Why would a kid with a zero chance to die from covid need a vaccine that has no studies for long term effects and is being reported to vaers at a record level... 293 deaths added to vaers this last week that’s a 2% increase on a 31 year old total in 1 week!! That’s terrifying
