I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought of reinventing immunisation and administration records so as to have a separate and novel paper record for this one injection. I emailed him back to point out that all that is necessary is for the supply route to send one brand to some practices, and the other to others, and for at most a phone call to the previous practice in the rare cases of someone moving between doses, and acquiring one dose of the right stuff if necessary. That could be avoided by simply publishing a list of all practices and otehr immunisation sites, with the brand provided against each of them, stick it on the web where Google can see it, and Leave It To Us and the patients! -- Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/
