Delivering his weekly COVID-19 update, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health on Wednesday announced the province had issued a preferential recommendation for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine over the Moderna vaccine, for people aged 18 to 24-years-old.

He said the decision was due to a "low incidence of cardio issues" including Myocarditis or Pericarditis in this age group. He said around two people per 100,000 have developed one of these conditions, compared to 11 per 100,000 for those who have become infected with COVID-19.

Moore also said Wednesday that the province is developing a risk-based asymptomatic COVID-19 testing strategy in Ontario schools and has been reviewing testing data, especially in schools where there have been previous outbreaks or high-risk of community spread.

Ontario reported 495 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, the second day in a row the count has been under 500. The provincial case total now stands at 585.502. The death toll in the province has risen to 9,723 as eight more deaths were recorded.
