¶ COVID-19
In September 2021, Public Health Ontario adjusted their guidance to suggest youth aged 18-24 receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine instead of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine product due to elevated risk of myocarditis. However, individuals in that group could still receive the Moderna shot so long as they gave "informed consent."[1]
