Health Canada has approved the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. It's officially the first vaccine the country's regulator has approved for that age group and will be given in one-quarter doses.

(2/3) After a thorough and independent scientific review of the evidence, the Department has determined that the vaccine is safe and effective at preventing #Covid19 in children between 6 months and 5 years of age.
