TORONTO A 15-year-old boy looking to get his second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine says he was shocked to find out he had been given the wrong shot after the vaccination had already taken place. Rakin Choudhury went to the vaccination site at Warden Hilltop Community Centre, which is operated by Michael Garron Hospital in the city’s east end, with his father Rejoan and two siblings on Tuesday. Because of his age, Choudhury was expecting to receive a shot of Pfizer, as it is the only COVID-19 vaccine approved by Health Canada for children between the ages of 12 and 17.
