Investing in the early years of children's lives is one of the most important things we can do as a society to build a better future and promote the nation’s health writes Professor Katie Harron (UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health) in The Conversation. buff.ly/3x9BB48

How are vaccines developed? 🤔Here's a peek:

🔹 Pre-clinical testing: Lab tests ensure safety and efficacy.
🔹 Phases 1-3: From small to large groups, testing dosage, safety, and efficacy.
👌 Approval follows the successful completion of all phases.

Vaccine research is crucial.

Childhood infections can be serious, even life-changing. Is your child protected? Check their Red Book or contact your GP practice if you’re unsure.

But it’s also a reminder as to how far we have yet to go.
