In this episode, your doctors give an overview of the history of vaccines, why there has been a delay in covid vaccines for kids and an overview of the immune system over time. Vaccination is not new, fears toward vaccination are not new, and adult vs child/infant immune systems work differently.
Shout out to Jeff Jeudy for our awesome music!
