Congratulations Marsha and everyone else involved in this! It is truly
wonderful news!!!and the newspaper article is a good one too, looks like
they pretty much got everything right.
I have a letter in our national paper today....yesterday they had an article
presenting an argument for the govt to provide universal free rotovirus
vaccination

This is the second article that has appeared in a major newspaper on the
subject and it annoys me enormously that a press release from those who are
going to make $$ from it can get picked up as a news story. Anyway, my
letter is at
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/opindex/0,9320,opinion^^TEXT,00.html
click on letters (down the side) and then mine is on page 7.
