I just emailed ABC and told them they had an innacuracy. That the WHO
does not say up to two years, but says a _minimum_ of two, and there

I also then stated the issue was why the AAP had cut it in half. :-)
If you click on the link to leave a comment, it then asks you if you
want to just email them a correction etc, instead. Others may wish to
do so! :-)
