Re: [Gnumed-devel] vaccinations

I just looked in the vaccine fridge. 

The tag is either 'lot' or a (B) presumeably meaning batch. Intersting eh! 
No-one cept me uses serial # so we had better ditch that one!. I'd go for 
Batch # or Lot # for AU.

I'll address the other Q this arvo. 

Going to shut down this machine and put Libranet 2.8.1 on it over lunch time.

Regards

Richard
