"Dr. Tan - Thank you seems insufficient, but it's all I know to say in response to such an amazing webinar. I have been receiving nothing but positive feedback from those who participated, and regrets from those who were unable to attend. I can safely say that we all left with more information than we came with, and that's always a plus. We know that knowledge doesn't equal behavior change, but I think it definitely contributes to awareness, and that's a great starting point. There may be an influx in vaccinations this year!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again for your time and expertise."
