Kids and COVID-19 vaccines: what you need to know

 
HALIFAX --
Ask five-year-old Sophie why she wants a COVID-19 vaccine, and she answers with surprising certainty considering her age.
"'Cause I don't want to wear any mask!" she exclaims.
Her mom, Fallon Jones, says as a parent of two young children, the whole family is looking forward to what immunization could mean.
"I'm looking for that little bit of normalcy so we can go back and see family again, and just get back to our lives," Jones says.
But her children will have to wait, because only children aged 12 and up are approved to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Canada. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is the only one with approval for that age group at this point.
