The news comes following Health Canada's approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech shot for that age group on Wednesday. "Eligibility includes individuals between the age of 12 and 15 living in congregate care or developmental service settings, or with highest, high, or at-risk health conditions," said Deputy Police Chief and Vaccine task Force Lead Shirley Hilton. On Thursday morning at 8 a.m., eligibility will also expand to those aged 50 years and older in Waterloo Region.
