Thanks Melanie, I have just donated 10 vaccines.

Melanie, do you know of any efforts to develop an inoculation for avian pox? With what we know about smallpox, it would seem a straightforward thing to do.

Thanks for setting out complex information in a really straightforward way. I know this was written a month ago now, but wondering if you've looked yet at the benefit of Moderna against Pfizer for the Delta variant https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/moderna-may-be-superior-pfizer-against-delta-breakthrough-odds-rise-with-time-2021-08-09/

We're actually (finally) heading to the US next week to get it. We weren't eligible for any vaccine when we were back in Australia a few months ago, and the country we work in hasn't consistently been offering vaccines for its expat workers - which although frustrating, makes sense - the greater need is obviously the local population given the standard of medical care they have access to. I'm just pumped that we'll finally get some protection for ourselves!
