Hundreds of people braved the early morning chill to line up outside an Ottawa grocery store Monday after hearing the pharmacy inside was offering doses of a COVID-19 vaccine on a first-come, first-served basis.
But many of those waiting outside the College Square Loblaws on Baseline Road said they d put their names on waiting lists for a vaccine once they became eligible under provincial rules, only to hear about the walk-in offer online through the group Vaccine Hunters Canada.
