Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

1. Dr. FRED BUCKHOLD, SLU Care General Internist at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, and a professor of medicine at St. Louis University School of Medicine.  In light of new concerns about bird flu found in dairy cows, how safe is our milk supply?  With RSV hospitalizations on the rise, who needs an RSV vaccine?  Who needs a measles booster?  CDC warns of an invasive bacterial outbreak amid a spike in cases.  How concerned should we be?  Who is most at risk?
2. Dr. JON LaPOOK, CBS News Chief Medical Correspondent and LAKEISHA VANTREECE, manager of community engagement and aftercare at Mid America Transplant.  A New Jersey woman is just the second person in the world to receive a kidney transplant from a genetically modified pig.  Dr. LaPook talked with the 54-year-old woman as she is recovering - and with her medical team.  Vantreece tells us about the need for organ donors in the USA and in the bi-state area in particular.  What organs are needed the most?  Any misconceptions about organ donation?  Where to go to get more info on organ donations?
3. Dr. HABEN DEBESSAI, OBGYN in Atlanta and a CDC Foundation Gilstrap Fellow.  The CDC is encouraging expectant moms to get their prenatal vaccinations.  Prenatal vaccination coverage remains lowest among black pregnant women.  Which vaccines are recommended?  Whooping Cough, RSV, Flu and COVID.  When should they get them?  Are they safe?  How do the antibodies help protect the unborn baby?  
4. Dr. CELINE GOUNDER, CBS News Medical Contributor and editor-at-large for Public Health at K-F-F Health News.  What's the latest on the CDC and FDA investigation into the bird flu virus found in some pasteurized grocery store milk?  The FDA now says don't drink raw milk -- and it is telling the dairy industry NOT to manufacture or sell raw milk or raw milk products - including cheese made with raw milk -- from cows with symptoms of illness or exposed to other cows that have bird flu.
