MRF member promotes PneumoAware report

MRF is working with with Pfizer and a number of other charities to develop a pneumococcal disease awareness document, the PneumoAware Report. It will be presented at meetings for public health professionals involved in implementing vaccine policy to gain their support.

We hope this document will be used to raise awareness of the diseases and the benefits of vaccines, among politicians and key opinion leaders.

MRF member Gail Phillips worked with us to help raise awareness of the report. Listen to her recent interview on BBC Somerset Sound where she talks about her family's experience with pneumococcal meningitis:
