The momentum generated by the EU’s Beating Cancer Plan demonstrates the remarkable achievements possible when we unite for a common cause.

It’s never too late to protect yourself against common, cancer-causing viruses. If you’ve never been vaccinated against HPV or hepatitis B, you may still be eligible through catch-up vaccination programmes. ✍️ These can be reimbursed or provided free of charge in many countries across Europe. These vaccines are proven to prevent cervical cancer, liver cancer, and a variety of other cancers. But few adults realise they’re still eligible. 📞 Talk to your healthcare provider 📍 Check your national immunisation guidelines 📣 Share this post and help spread the word buff.ly/Yzdmg6M #WorldImmunizationWeek #VaccinesWork #HumanlyPossible

Fact:❗ 1️⃣ HPV causes 4,5% of all cancers in men and women globally. 2️⃣ And #HepatitisB causes an estimated 55% of all liver cancer deaths. 👉 But these cancers are highly preventable through vaccination. 🔗 Don’t wait.

Let’s protect everyone. 🗣️ Today, we hear from @amil__dr, Vice-Chair of ECO’s HPV and Hep B Network, as he shares why equal access to vaccination must be a top priority in Europe’s efforts to eliminate preventable cancers. ✍️ #HPV and #HepB vaccinations are safe and effective, but coverage remains uneven across Europe. Everyone deserves the same opportunity to protect themselves and their families. Learn more at: buff.ly/Yzdmg6M #WorldImmunisationWeek #VaccinesWork #HumanlyPossible
