Good news! @OttawaHealth is planning to distribute XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine to community providers (that includes family docs!) and OPH clinics in mid/late October. So we can offer it at the same time as shots. , let’s have a Oct 22nd!

@nilikm too frigging late, have you seen the recent weeks LTC and hospital outbreaks?

anyone recently infected has to wait 4-6 months to get a new vaccine, so it's too late for them

@nilikm Now that the new version of #Novavax has been approved in the US, any rumours of when we might see it approved in #Canada, and then when we might see it in #Ottawa? I know #OPH has been quietly offering Novavax for since earlier this year via secureforms.ottawapublichealth

I had an email exchange a few days ago with a sympathetic PHAC official and was told that there is still not a clear date for an approval decision. However is on an "expedited timeline".
