  • Life-saving info

    I’m so grateful to get a good insight into what is happening in terms of respiratory illnesses this fall and winter, and what we can do about them. It was particularly useful to hear when I ought to get my COVID-19 vaccine. Since the government decided to pretend we didn’t have a pandemic anymore I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants, so this is great. Thank you.
