Ronan Collins takes a trip down Memory Lane

Ronan Collins did his best Buddy Holly impression at The Sugar Club to encourage everyone of a certain vintage who remembers dancing to Buddy, going to see their favourite showband, or even tuning in to the first ever episode of The Late Late Show, that they need to know about pneumococcal disease. Ronan said at today’s launch, “As much fun as it is to pretend to be Buddy Holly for the day, the message behind this campaign is a serious one for those at increased risk. More than half of those aged 65 and over (57%) had not even heard of pneumococcal disease let alone how to protect themselves from it. I am very proud to once again be a part of this campaign and work with so many fantastic groups to help increase awareness – the fact that we have such varied patient groups involved shows just how critical it is for people to learn about the pneumo bug and how you can help protect yourself.”
