Series 5, Episode 5

Vaccinations are known to save millions of lives every year – yet there is an increasingly worrying trend around the world to mistrust them and refuse vaccination.

In Episode Five we look at the history of vaccines and some of the reasons leading to vaccine hesitancy. We find out why a virus most associated with causing Cervical cancer is also connected to an increasing number of HPV-Driven Head and Neck Cancers, and with the HPV vaccine programme being expanded to boys in 2019, we meet Kevin Brennan – brother of the late advocate Laura Brennan – to highlight the importance of the HPV vaccine.

We’ll also look at the latest research in vaccine development for people with
compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV, people receiving chemotherapy for cancer, or undergoing organ transplantation.
