The American Academy of Pediatrics is breaking with the CDC for the first time in decades by continuing to recommend Covid-19 shots for infants and young children. By contrast the CDC, under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is no longer recommending the vaccine for healthy kids. Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm joins us to help make sense of the conflicting messages. We’ll also get his thoughts on federal cuts to vaccine research funding, and our readiness for future pandemics.
Guests:
Dr. Michael Osterholm, epidemiologist; director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, University of Minnesota
