Alberta to start vaccinating small kids against COVID with Moderna by end of July

Tens of thousands of Alberta's youngest children will soon be able to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

On Thursday, Moderna's Spikevax became the first COVID vaccine in Canada to be approved to be administered to small children between six months and five years old.

Alberta expects to receive an initial supply of the vaccine from the federal government and begin offering it to small children by the end of the month, Alberta Health spokesperson Lisa Glover said Thursday.
