The number of children under the age of five getting vaccinated against COVID-19 in Ontario is lower than the relatively small numbers some experts had expected.
Shots for the youngest age group have been available for two months, but only about six per cent of those kids have had their first dose.
Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, says that is lower than the numbers he thought he would see by this point.
He says in particular parents whose children have underlying conditions should consider vaccination and should talk to their health-care provider.
