‘Without vaccines, we wouldn't be able to keep ourselves safe, our children safe, and our older adults are safe.’ As #worldimmunizationweek comes to a close, Prof Teresa Lambe reminds us why vaccines matter. Vaccines train your body to recognise and fight infection, helping you stay protected and recover faster. From RNA to viral vector to inactivated vaccines, each plays a vital role in preventing disease. Diseases like smallpox once killed hundreds of millions, now eradicated thanks to vaccinations. #oxforduniversity #vaccineawareness
