Gardasil for our daughters

This morning at 10 am the Prime Minister and Federal Health Minister Tony Abbot announced the funding of the HPV vaccine Gardasil for next year.

I for one am no longer looking at our emergency savings for the girls. And I am relieved. It isn't like we have money to spare. And ONLY YESTERDAY I discussed the vaccine at our local doctors - he wisely told me to wait.

The fact sheet can be found here.

I wonder if it will kick in in time to make my third shot free?! My second one is due December 28.

I still wonder why Tony was all for not bringing it in until 2008.

Oh Enny - you were the first person I thought of when the email with the press release came.... BUT... you are such a lucky young woman that you have it in advance.

Cazzie yes ... what clever people and how wonderful.

Boysenberry - I think sometimes Tony's rosaries get a little tangled?
