Outbreak Response

Interview with Dr. Aneesh Mehta

The Q&A!

Whether it’s an Ebola outbreak that threatens to cross borders or an explosion of cyclospora cases in our own country, it seems like every tom, dick, and harry has opinions on how outbreaks should be handled. This week on Health Wanted, we’re asking “how DO you to respond to a disease outbreak?”

Plus, what’s going on with pediatric vaccine coverage? How do you stop “old people smell?” Is there lead in your turmeric? West Nile virus in your mosquitos? And the Sick of the Week.

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the show notes.
