Health Canada to approve Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for kids 5-11 on Friday: sources Murray believes this means between 24,000 and 34,000 children from the region will be expected for vaccine doses.“When children’s doses are approved, they will be our priority. We have prepared our staff and our clinics to be able to provide family friendly ways to vaccinate the 5- to 11-year-old age group,” said Murray, who also serves as pharmacy director for both of Kitchener’s major hospitals.By prioritizing the first doses for children, she hopes the first rush of children’s vaccinations will be completed in two to maybe two, two and a half or three weeks.
