HI everyone!

At the Dutch lactation association conference which I attended yesterday,
Lars A. Hanson was one of the speakers. He talked about immunology. He
specifically mentioned that when the LIVE vaccin is being used,
breastfeeding within a couple of hours before or after vaccination will
UNDO the vaccination.
The caps used are only for emphasis, at the moment I don't have more
details but I couldn't resist this one :-D
