World Immunisation week
WHO global vaccine drives are one of humanity’s greatest achievements, saving over 154 million people.
They led to eradication of smallpox & almost polio. This ensures more children survive & thrive than ever before.

#ImmunisationForAll

Always nice to get an invite to give a talk but particularly when you get to visit the Alma Mater! Thanks again to DU Microbiological Society for the invite and all at MicrobiologyTCD for the warm welcome and great questions and even better suggestions of what to do next!!

This is World Immunisation Week.
Vaccination saves lives; 4 to 5 million lives are saved each year with vaccinations. As Dr Kate O Brien puts it “Vaccination is a Social justice issue”. It gives every child a chance to survive and thrive.
