Canada’s health regulator on Friday approved Pfizer’s kid-size Covid-19 shot for children ages 5 to 11.

Canada’s health regulator approved Pfizer’s kid-size Covid-19 shot on Friday and announced it will allow Canadians returning from short trips abroad to use a quicker, less-expensive test for the coronavirus.

Health Canada authorized the shots for children ages 5 to 11. And as in the US, the doses will be just a third of the amount given to teens and adults.
