Amazing results here from #RSV immunisation. Let’s hope with good uptake we can achieve similar results for Western Australia and our research can help shape Australian wide ongoing policy.

Congrats to everyone who was awarded #NHMRC investigator grants. 4th unsuccessful in a row for me- still with some fantastic comments. But hey I was awarded an Order of Australia medal for service to epidemiology as a researcher. Irony anyone? 🤷‍♀️
