Youth aged 12-17 will soon be able to get vaccinated at schools in Inuvik, as well as in Hay River and Fort Smith.

A May 21 news release from the GNWT says a schedule for vaccinations will be posted to the Covid-19 vaccine website soon, and are set to begin May 26.

This vaccine is of Pfizer-BioNTech manufacture, as opposed to the Moderna vaccine that has been administered throughout the Delta thus far. The vaccinations in Inuvik will be administered at East Three school.

A phase 3 clinical trial of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in 2,260 children aged 12-15 had a 100 per cent success rate in preventing Covid-19 symptoms.

The press release notes that youth vaccinations in smaller communities will be rolled out soon and handled in a similar fashion to how the Moderna vaccine was distributed. To date, nearly 60 per cent of eligible people in the Northwest Territories have been vaccinated against Covid-19.
