The HSE and World Health Organisation (WHO) are encouraging parents and guardians to make sure their children are up to date with their vaccines, including baby and school vaccines.
Monday, April 24 marks the beginning of this year’s European Immunisation Week, which takes place every year on the last week of April.
The theme for this year is "the big catch-up" and aims to improve vaccination uptake worldwide, especially in younger children who may have missed out on their routine vaccines since the Covid-19 pandemic.
