What are the 5Cs of vaccination acceptance? https://t.co/RJiVjnFcXh via @vaccinestoday

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

If you’re pregnant or thinking about it, this matters.

Vaccination during pregnancy plays an important role in protecting both mother and baby. Recommended vaccines help pass protective antibodies to your baby before birth — offering early protection and peace of mind.

Your decision makes a difference. Get vaccinated.

Measles, mumps, and chickenpox can all cause encephalitis, an uncommon but serious swelling of the brain.

The MMRV vaccine protects you against all-3 of these viruses, as well as rubella. 🔴

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

The tragic death of two university students in Kent shows the seriousness of meningitis. All young people should ensure they are up to date with their vaccines including MenACWY. Awareness of the symptoms of meningitis and prompt treatment are also essential to improve outcomes.

[NHS @NHSuk]

Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly.

The NHS website has all the information you need, including what to look out for and when to get medical help.

A new Swedish study followed nearly a million women for 18 years after HPV vaccination — and found zero sign of protection fading.

Combined with fresh US data showing cervical cancer rates falling fastest where vaccination is highest, the evidence is now hard to argue with: the HPV vaccine doesn't just work, it keeps working.
