Ontario Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott alongside Solicitor General Sylvia Jones is expected to outline the province's plan for the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11.

The first batch of COVID-19 vaccines for children arrived in Canada on Sunday, marking the first in an accelerated shipment of vaccines.

Health Canada announced Friday that it had approved a modified version of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for use in that demographic and Ottawa immediately promised some shots would be on Canadian soil 48 hours later.

Health Canada's approval came after a month-long review of safety and efficacy data from the pharmaceutical giants.
