ABOUT THE COVID VACCINES

- Pfizer-Biontech mRNA vaccine -

The Pfizer-Biontech mRNA vaccine is the only vaccine in Canada approved for individuals 12-17+ years old. A second vaccine has been approved for children ages 5-11 years old. 

It is highly effective and safe.

Click Here for more information about this vaccine in youth 12-17 years old. 

Visit City of Toronto COVID: About the Vaccines for more information. 

- Moderna mRNA vaccine -

The Moderna Vaccine is approved for all individuals 18+ years of age. It is also an mRNA based vaccine and is highly effective and safe. 

Visit City of Toronto COVID: About the Vaccines for more information. 

- AstraZeneca Vaccine -

As of May 11, the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is not being administered in Ontario for patients receiving their first COVID-19 vaccine due to a rare but serious potential side effect referred to as  Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT). The change in this guideline is primarily due to the recent increased availability of mRNA based vaccines in Ontario, which do not carry any risk for VITT. 

The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table has developed a Questions and &Answers Summary to address concerns re. VITT.

- COVID Vaccines and Pregnancy -

Pregnancy is a risk factor for complications from COVID-19, therefore vaccination is highly recommended.
