A very exciting week!

Today a very exciting announcement was made in Australia - a new vaccine was announced for the very deadly Meningococcal B! So very exciting for everyone! It was the only major strain in Australia that wasn't covered by a vaccine, the vaccine is now available by talking to your local GP and getting a prescription. As you all know my gorgeous son contracted meningococcal in April last year - he was very lucky to have come through it as well as he did! Immunisations play a very important part in protecting you and your family.

Lucas & I were lucky enough to be asked to be involved in the media coverage for the announcement! We had a few interviews and pre-recordings in the days prior as well as on the day of the announcement FOUR tv interviews along with a radio interview!

Lucas was just great! He was a little shy at first, but once he warmed up he loved seeing himself on the camera's playback. Such a great day & it was wonderful to be a part of this huge step forward for this countrys health!

Below I have sourced the links, so you can all have a look at my beautiful little boy! Feel free to share them with your friends & help raise awareness of the disease.
