Province says infants and high-risk children up to two years old will have access to new immunization to protect against respiratory syncytial virus
TORONTO — Ontario is doubling the number of children eligible for vaccination against a virus that can make young kids very sick.
Pregnant women will also be able to be inoculated with a different vaccine to provide protection to newborns. "To be ready for this year's respiratory illness season, we all need to take the simple and effective steps to protect the most vulnerable people in our communities and our health-care system,” Moore wrote in a statement.
The province says children will be able to receive doses of Beyfortus, made by Sanofi and approved by Health Canada last year.
