For their first episode and peak flu season, Virginia and Frances tackle the flu vaccine. Frances takes the microbiologist prospective, talking about the history of the vaccine, current vaccination practices, and does a little myth busting for vaccine skeptics. Virginia puts her medical knowledge to good use, covering the CDC pink book recommendations, people who should (and should not) get the vaccine, and  ethical dilemmas regarding vaccination for health care employees.
