Prof. Adam Finn, Professor of Paediatrics, University of Bristol, said:
“We have been using this vaccine in trials for several years so we have a lot of experience – parents like it a lot. I think the main problem is lack of awareness. If they could take the vaccine to nurseries it might kick things off.”
