UPDATE: Feds to Announce Approval of COVID-19 Vaccine For Kids Tomorrow

A press conference has been scheduled for tomorrow morning to share news surrounding the Pfizer shot for children.

The federal government is set to make an announcement tomorrow about COVID-19 vaccines for kids aged 5 to 11. 

CTV News says a media briefing has been scheduled for 10:00 a.m. 

Officials are expected to announce the authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 shot for kids aged 5 to 11. 

Canada is expecting an accelerated delivery of 2.9 million doses of the child-sized vaccine, which would be enough for every kid in that age group. 

As well, federal ministers are also expected to make an announcement tomorrow about scrapping COVID-19 tests for fully vaccinated Canadians returning home from trips less than 72 hours long.
