Parents May Have To Rebook Some COVID-19 Vaccines For Children Aged Six Months To Four Years

People with children aged six months to four years who have appointments booked for a certain Covid-19 vaccine may have to re-book.

Canada's current supply of the infant Moderna vaccine expires on March 8th, and the province says it doesn’t have a confirmed date for the arrival of a new supply, but it may not be before April 11th.

Parents or guardians who have booked appointments for their children aged six months to four years for between March 9 and April 10 will be contacted to discuss their options for rebooking. You can also simply reschedule the appointment yourself.

The infant Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is also available, and the province says it is safe to substitute for the infant Moderna vaccine.

To date, approximately 21% of infants and children between six months and four years of age in B.C. have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
