A Father is listening to his daughter say her prayers before bedtime.“God bless Mummy and god bless Daddy and god bless Grandma and… Goodbye Grandpa.”
The next day, grandpa drops dead. Wow, thinks Dad, that’s an odd coincidence.
A month later at bedtime, the daughter says: “God bless Mummy and Daddy. And goodbye Grandma.”
Sure enough, the next day Grandma breathes her last earthly breath.
The dad realises this is more than a coincidence, but he is not sure what to do. He doesn’t want to disturb his wife by telling her.
Months go by and one night the man is listening to his daughter saying her prayers at bedtime.
“God bless Mummy….she turns her head and looks straight at him – and goodbye Daddy.”
“What!? are you sure honey?”
She nods.
The man’s heart begins racing and he breaks out in a sweat. He is so upset, he can’t sleep at all that night. The next day he goes off to work, but locks himself in his office. He takes the phone off the hook, cancels all his meetings and awaits the inevitable. He stays at work past 5 because he feels secure there. He watches the hours tick by. Finally it is midnight and, drenched in sweat, he realises he has cheated death. He drives home drenched in sweat and with all his nerves frazzled.
His wife is up and waiting for him.
“Where the hell were you today??!”
He replies – “Don’t shout, I’ve had an absolutely miserable day.”
His wife then says – “You had a miserable day? I’m the one who had a miserable day! First, the milkman drops dead on the steps…”
Moderna’s vaccine is the first bivalent COVID-19 jab to get the tick from the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Supplies have been ordered by the government in advance of the approval and are expected to arrive within weeks.
The bivalent vaccine is designed to stimulate immunity to both the original version of the virus and the Omicron variant and seeks to combat its ability to evade vaccine-generated antibodies.
Australia is the third country, after the UK and Switzerland, to approve the new vaccine, although the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, the country’s vaccine advisory body, still needs to sign off on how the jab will work as part of the broader vaccine program.
“Following TGA’s provisional approval, the doses will arrive in the country within weeks – allowing Australia to be among the first countries in the world to have access to this next-generation COVID-19 vaccine,” a Moderna spokeswoman told The Age.
