Health Canada approved Pfizer’s pediatric vaccine last week but vaccinations for younger school-aged children only really got underway on Thursday, with the exception of a few hundred appointments in Toronto one day prior.
Toronto officials say that 38,000 of the 50,000 available appointments for younger-school aged children at its mass immunization sites have already been booked. There are also expected to be nearly 400 school-based clinics offered over the next month in the city. Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore acknowledged that there will continue to be a rise in school-related cases over the coming weeks, particularly at the elementary level.
According to the latest data, there are now 17 publicly funded schools that are closed due to COVID-19 outbreaks or operational considerations related to the pandemic. In 2020, it took until Dec. 17 to reach that number and within days of that the Ford government announced a temporary closure of schools following the holiday break.
