# Welcome 2009 (A Look Back)

January 2, 2009

[vaccines](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/vaccines)

I've taken the last week or so off and, technically, I am still off asI sit at home in the kitchen to help keep the new puppy company. I havesome long overdue content to get out, but I'll toss up these gems fornow.

First, here's [a great link ](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98743907)on NPR featuring Dr. Lander! The media is starting to pick up on theissue of vaccine costs. I love how the insurance spokewoman blames itall on the government. I want to get ahold of the study mentioned inthis month's *Pediatrics*, but you can see our attempt to measure the impact of vaccine overhead [here on this magic blog](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/pediatric-revenue-benchmark/). It's substantial.

Before I leave you today, here's a list of the top 10 posts, based onhit volume, from the blog in 2008. The "readership" has nearly tripled(I can get a few hundred a day, now) and I am very grateful for eachand every one of you. Especially those who send me great information.So...thank you!
