💪 Check that you and your children are up to date with recommended vaccinations. If doses were missed, speak to a healthcare professional about catching up. 🏥 Public health systems also need to track gaps, understand low coverage and make vaccination accessible.

Vaccination has transformed public health in Europe. But keeping that protection in place takes continued effort. When routine vaccinations are missed, gaps in immunity can build up and diseases brought under control can spread again. #Vaccination #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork
