Laura Brennan bravely shared her story to raise awareness about HPV and cervical cancer. Her campaign led to the HPV catch‑up programme, giving people who missed the vaccine a second chance at protection. HPV is common and can cause cancer, but vaccination can prevent it. Getting the HPV vaccine helps protect lives and continues Laura’s powerful legacy.

The Laura Brennan HPV vaccine catch-up programme gives fifth and sixth year students who were eligible but missed out on the vaccine in school another chance to get this safe and effective vaccine. It also pays tribute to Laura’s dedication and tireless efforts.

Learn more about the final chapters in Laura’s life as she advocated for the HPV vaccine in this powerful documentary on the RTÉ Player : https://www.rte.ie/.../laura-brennan-this-is-me/102220328261
