Prof. Lambe, an alumni of UCD, also received an Alumni Award in Science from the University last year.

At the end of 2021, 182 countries had administered the vaccine.
At her former secondary school, a Teresa Lambe Bursary Fund was launched last year.
The bursary's intention is to encourage girls at the school to study STEM subjects at third level.
