I'm sure I don't need to remind you that today is Halloween!!!
If you are in the US, this is a great alternative to the unhealthy trick or treat tradition:
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began in 1950 as a way to help kids who need more than candy. Since then, children all over America have gone door-to-door on Halloween with UNICEF collection boxes, calling out, "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!" They have raised more than $170 million for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF since 1950.

This gives me a fantastic opportunity to let you know or remind you if you've seen it before that Seran's infographic on children immunisation programme is up.
This is another thing you can do this Halloween, you can share it, you can tweet it, you can +'s it - Help dismiss some of the claims anti-vaxxers make to rally hesitant parents.
It's becoming a cruel fact that we cannot rely on our herd immunity anymore so our children need our help to build it back up so all of them, vaccinated or not (for medical reasons or others) are protected!
See you Soon for more Sexy Science,
What a great post. I love it when scientists share their knowledge in a public friendly way and unfortunately there is so much crappy information out there by self proclaimed experts which usually never have seen a lab from the inside. I just found your blog and you just gained a new subscriber. Do you mind if i advertise your blog to my readers? I think its well worth a read for my subscribers.
