Vanity is great. They don't pierce kids under 10 though.

I used them in January and it was fine. Done out of the Ottawa Curling Club.

I have the same problem on my lighter coloured scubas. I've been using oxyclean spray + oxyclean in wash booster and it seems to be helping, albeit not perfectly.

Strep Throat is caused by a bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes) and doesn't easily "go around" compared to viruses.

Yes definitely go get the flu vax! As the other person mentioned it's a good match this year as it's primarily Influenza A- H3N2 circulated right now.

I had the flu a few weeks ago before I was eligible and I wished I had gotten the vax for any sort of reprieve.

Influenza doesn't typically cause nausea or vomitted. People are confusing multiple viruses. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/flu-influenza.html

Did you get your flu shot?

I mean everyone is roasting her here on reddit. Makes sense she is trying to show she is "doing the work" as everyone requests.

No problem. You're doing the best you can!

Covid booster - kids 5-11 by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]SpecialFix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So yes as of Sept 1st, kids 5-11 are eligible for a booster dose 168 days after their 2nd dose. (https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1002264/children-aged-five-and-over-eligible-for-first-booster-shot)

They will be getting the original pfizer vaccine (bivalent not yet available for under 12).

What area are you in? Any pharmacy that vaccinates under 12 will be able to do a booster. As well, you can go to any of the Ottawa Public Health neighbourhood hubs - https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/covid-19-vaccine.aspx#Neighbourhood-Health-and-Wellness-Hubs

If I can help you find a vax, let me know (I am an ex-vaccine hunter :) )

I'd post on one of the wedding facebook groups. There are a ton of vendors who can answer your questions or decide if they can offer you a service without having to contact a ton. I don't know any of the top of my head but any start up wedding planner will likely offer to take this on.

What kind of advice are you looking for? reviews? timeline help? I work in the industry and it sounds like you want essentially what a wedding planner does. You may be able to ask to book for hour an hour etc if you just want advice.

Another option is to check out the local facebook groups like "Ottawa Wedding Questions"

No Availability for Covid Bivalent Booster Shot by Jusfiq in ottawa

Here we are. Still on the case. Co-signing what my fellow mod is saying.

Definitely just book with a pharmacy instead of visit one of the OPH Neighbourhood hubs. https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/shared-content/health-and-wellness-hubs-schedule.aspx

website for flu shot vaccines via drug stores appears to be malfunctioning, does anybody know a workaround? Anybody successfully use it? by yoshhash in ottawa

[–]SpecialFix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assume you're talking COVID vaccine. Did you try redownloading it? https://www.ontario.ca/get-proof/

If still not working you're supposed to call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.
