Image: Eamonn Farrell HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris has sent letters to social media companies and sporting organisations asking them to help raise awareness for vaccinations ahead of the launch of a new vaccination alliance this week.

It comes as Harris is set to launch an alliance of healthcare professionals and policy makers this week in a bid to promote awareness and uptake of vaccinations in Ireland. In another letter sent to Sporting Ireland, Harris draws on the work of Laura Brennan who was an outspoken campaigner for the HPV vaccine before she passed away from cervical cancer in March this year.

“They’re asking teams and individuals to wear the HPV vaccine logo on the jersey of their favourite sports team and to show their support on social media using #ThankYouLaura and #ProtectOurFuture.”
