** Vida** (was Two children die after polio vaccination)

[Guest guest]

Vida, I have just cut and pasted the link into my browser but it didn't'

work. But when I went to the original source of the article, it did. Go to

www.newsnow.co.uk and do a headline search with the word " vaccination " . For

me the story turns up as the first item on the list.

Hope this helps.

Sue

The link is not working and I want to send the article to my husband.
