8 years ago today. It’s been a busy, painful, incredible, tough, hard-working, rewarding, sad, happy, memorable, heartbreaking 8 years. My stomach is in knots thinking about the moment we said goodbye. Much nicer to remember the time we said hello 💙

Today marks the start of Australia's first RSV Awareness Week +the launch of our #RSVandMe campaign. ifa.org.au/rsvandme Did you know that RSV is the leading cause of childhood hospitalisation in Australian children under 5? evohealth.com.au/wp-content/upl… #RSVWeek23

It's RSV Awareness Week! WCVID a leading site for global RSV clinical trials and epidemiological research and modelling in preparation for vaccine development. Professor Peter Richmond has led four clinical trials, getting us closer to a licensed vaccine. #RSVandME #RSVweek23

Got a kid under 5 or one who is over 5 and unboosted in Australia or the UK? Get angry and demand the very safe & effective vaccines be made available now. Death from cv is unlikely but so is every other cause. Long covid a lot more likely & also reduced by vaccines. Come on.

A friendly reminder that #whoopingcough aka #pertussis is awful for little babies. I’ll never forget the look in Riley’s eyes as he tried to breathe in between coughing. Fortunately we can now vaccinate during #pregnancy to help keep our little babies safe ❤️

A cause near and dear to our hearts, Whooping Cough Day provides a platform to shine a spotlight on the threat posed by whooping cough and the simple ways that people can remain protected. If you’d like to know more/ get involved, please head to ifa.org.au/whoopingcoughd…

You should have been turning 9 today. Miss you 💙 #whoopingcough #pertussis #pleasevaccinate
