‘Celebrate HPV vaccine,’ says terminally ill Laura Brennan

The HPV vaccine is something that should be celebrated, says Laura Brennan, who has terminal cervical cancer.

The 25-year-old Clare woman fronts the HSE’s latest HPV vaccination information campaign — the vaccine was not available in schools when she was a teenager.

Laura Brennan spoke at a conference in Dublin yesterday organised by the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland that is calling for boys to get the HPV vaccine.
