COVID-19 Vaccine:  Recommendations for Immunizing Adolescents

On August 27, 2021, Health Canada expanded authorization of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to include adolescents 12 years of age and older (prior to this, Pfizer was the only COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in adolescents). Clinical trial findings suggest a complete series of an mRNA vaccine provides very good protection against symptomatic COVID-19 infection and has a favorable benefit versus risk profile in adolescents aged 12 years and older.
