Operated by
Public Health England
e-Bug supports and promotes national and
international health campaigns.
The e-Bug team also supports international health campaigns by running activities and launching new resources.
For example, this month e-Bug is collaborating with I’m a Scientist to host an antibiotics science engagement event for European Antibiotic Awareness Day. Students from Spain, France and the UK will chat with real scientists and be judges in an X Factor style competition to vote for their favourite scientist.
And this past April, to mark European Immunisation Week, we launched a Vaccination Timeline that students can access to create their own personalised vaccine record. Students can explore the childhood vaccination schedule in their country, and create and download their own personalised vaccination timeline.
