THE family of HPV vaccine advocate Laura Brennan is leading a campaign to mark her 28th birthday today by promoting use of the vaccine. Laura Brennan died in March 2019 from cervical cancer, at the age of 26 years old.

MASS vaccination clinics have been set-up in Cork amid concerns that thousands of children who had been due to receive immunisations missed out on the vaccines due to the Covid-19 school closures.

Parents and teachers calling for a suspension of the Gardasil vaccine programme staged a protest at the Clayton Hotel Silversprings to coincide with the Teachers' Union of Ireland's annual congress.
