HORNEPAYNE—Porcupine Heath Unit (PHU) want to inform parents, and guardians that its not too late for children aged five to eleven to get their first or second COVID-19 vaccines.
In a recent facebook notice they shared that, “If your child has already received their first dose, remember that for optimal protection against COVID-19, they should receive their second dose eight weeks later,” they stated.
In addition, they want you to know that even if your child has previously had COVID-19, it is still important they get fully vaccinated.
PHU shared that according to many reports, reinfection with the Omicron variant is more likely that other variants.
For parents or guardians who still have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, they recommend that you visit: https://www.sickkids.ca/.../sup.../covid-19-vaccine-consult/
There you will find safe, judgement-free information from the experts at SickKids, who provide a COVID-19 Vaccine Consult Service.
