COVID-19 Vaccines and children under 12

Hello Neighbours,

I know there are several households in Malmo Plains with young children and wanted to share the following announcement from the University of Alberta regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for children under the age of 12.

Ken Hemmerling

President, Malmo Plains Community League

Canadians under the age of 12 currently account for the highest number of new COVID-19 infections. COVID-19 vaccines for children aged 5-11 years old can protect them from infection and may reduce the number of new COVID-19 infections in Canada. If you are a parent or caregiver, you may have questions or concerns about the COVID-19 vaccines for children and wish to learn more. 

The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology at the University of Alberta, in partnership with the Alumni Association, invites you to a public panel discussion: COVID-19 VACCINES and CHILDREN: Your Questions Answered.

This will be a free virtual panel discussion on Tuesday December 7th at 6:00 PM where our expert panelists will explore the issue of vaccines and children. You can submit your questions before and during the event.
