At 48, he was active and healthy, with no reason to suspect something worse. Then a scan revealed the unthinkable.

Why does the arm you choose for a vaccine matter? 🩹
New research from Garvan and the Kirby Institute shows that receiving a booster in the same arm as the initial dose can lead to a quicker, stronger immune response.
