Alison Harding-Hlady is among some 200,000 Ottawans who suddenly became eligible Sunday when the minimum age for general vaccination was lowered from 55. "I do very much feel that I just got lucky," said Harding-Hlady, who already had experience booking vaccination appointments for her parents and grandparents.
