After last week&rsquo;s episode, we all know about each of the diseases that we&rsquo;re protected against thanks to our childhood vaccine schedule here in the US. And after this week&rsquo;s episode, we&rsquo;ll understand more about the schedule itself - why it might look different from other schedules around the world, how it gets made, and who makes the recommendations. We&rsquo;ll also review some of the current outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases before leaving you with some of our thoughts on how to talk about vaccines and vaccine hesitancy.Updates:At the time of recording, the ACIP meeting originally scheduled in Feb 2025 had not been rescheduled.
