Health Canada in May. Despite the fact that kids are less prone to severe sickness of Covid-19 infection, Health Canada stressed the need for them to get vaccinated because they can still become ill, be infected without showing symptoms, transfer the virus to others, and have long-term consequences if they catch it.
According to Health Canada, Covid-19 has a greater risk of serious sickness in children and adolescents with underlying medical problems. According to the data from Health Canada, 76.9% of adolescents aged 12 to 17 had been inoculated with at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine until August 21, and 63.57 percent had got two doses. In Canada, the Covid-19 vaccine is still not authorized to vaccinate children under the age of 12.
According to Health Canada, clinical trials are ongoing to assess the safety and efficacy for people in this age bracket. On Friday, Canada reported 1,461 additional cases of Covid-19, increasing the total number of cases to 1,484,144, with 26,881 fatalities. The daily Covid-19 case counts in Canada have been steadily increasing since July 30.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the most recent national seven-day average of 2,848 new cases recorded daily between August 20-26 is a 29 percent increase compared to the previous week. Following many weeks of growing case counts, the national severity trends of the country have started to rise, with unvaccinated individuals accounting for the majority of the cases.
