View on RumbleHealth Canada says that Pfizer-BioNTech will be required to keep ongoing studies to monitor any issues related to the vaccine.
"Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada will continue to closely monitor the safety of this vaccine, and will take action if any safety concerns are identified," a Health Canada statement said.
The vaccine will have a slight change to it for children, meaning doses need to arrive before they can begin distribution to those in the age range.
Doses are ready to be distributed by the provinces upon arrival.
