Laura Brennan 'saved thousands of lives' through HPV vaccine campaign

Laura Brennan's parents and brothers call for people to vaccinate their children against HPV in her memory, while Vicky Phelan pays tribute to her "relentless campaign to raise awareness of cervical cancer".

Laura Brennan, who advocated publicly in favour of the HPV vaccine before she passed away. Wednesday,  September 30,  would have been her 28th birthday.

"THERE is no doubt in my mind that Laura will have saved thousands of Irish women from the fate that she had to endure. Her relentless campaign to raise awareness of cervical cancer and to impress upon parents the importance of having their teenagers vaccinated against the HPV virus will save thousands of lives."

That is how Vicky Phelan said she will remember the late HPV vaccine advocate Laura Brennan, who should have turned 28 on Wednesday, September 30.
