I welcome the witnesses, both from REGRET and officials, and thank them for their various submissions, particularly the powerful submissions from Ms. Smyth and Ms Cannon on this subject. It is something that is deeply traumatic for their daughters, families and extended families.

This is an optional vaccine that requires permission from parents. On that basis, parents should surely be made aware as fully as possible of all the various positives and negatives.
