Dr. Barbara Pahud, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and Associate Director of NIH’s Vaccine Treatment and Evaluation Unit (VTEU) at Children’s Mercy Hospital, discusses the issues of vaccinations locally, nationally, and globally. She examines the truths and myths, and everything you need to know to stay up-to-date and be able to tell fake news from true science. Topics include: What’s in a vaccine? Do we still need to immunize against polio if we don’t have cases in the U.S.? Why do we have so many measles lately? And was “X” caused by a vaccine and how can doctors tell?
