I'm looking forward to the end of that copy pasta

In short:

Australia's vet regulator approves a koala chlamydia vaccine for nationwide rollout, offering new hope in the fight against the potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease.

Vets and conservation groups say the vaccine's rollout is vital to give struggling koala colonies a chance at survival.

What's next?

Researchers are calling for government funding to help deliver the vaccine to at-risk koala populations in Queensland and New South Wales by the end of 2026.

Why? Is there Tylenol in the vax?
