a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that

private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers

hold till march

cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border

gel packs either direction

the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not

freezing not cooking

coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

powder survived a freeze
