"The Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (Ad26.COV2.S) is used to prevent COVID-19. This disease is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The vaccine is approved for people who are 18 years of age and older. Its safety and effectiveness in people younger than 18 years of age have not yet been established.
Health Canada authorized this vaccine with conditions on March 5, 2021, under the interim order respecting the importation, sale and advertising of drugs for use in relation to COVID-19."
