I had a fairly senior member of the government come to see me today, and we chatted about the latest phase of the immunisation campaign, that is the offering of the vaccine to all healthy 6 month to 5 year olds, an unprecedented move.
"It might be something to do with the fact that we over-ordered vaccines; in our region to the tune of 1.5 million", he told me. This hasn't stopped the powers that be more or less insisting that we write to each and every one of the parents in question to invite them to bring their little ones in to be jabbed.
As I have already intimated, if asked by parents what my own view is, I have done my best to dissuade them. Today I find with some satisfaction that, the uptake (from the government's point of view, if not mine) has been decidedly disappointing. Good.
