I agree it was a dumb move to use the array there and it was
my idea to do so. Will fix that ASAP. I do maintain that it is
OK to use an array for the str_array config table as there the
actual *value* IS a list whereas in fk_vacc_indication it is a
collection of foreign keys which cries for a link table.
