The documentary, Laura Brennan This Is Me, first aired on the RTÉ player earlier this year. However, it was broadcast again on Monday evening. It showed Ms Brennan as she worked with the HSE to promote the HPV vaccination, touching lives of those across the country with her appearances on TV and on the radio. https://twitter.com/RTEOne/status/1173567208460435457 And following the broadcast of the documentary, social media users took to Twitter to pay tribute to Laura - sharing messages of thanks and gratitude to the inspirational young woman.
