While public support of childhood immunizations in the US has decreased over the past two decades, keeping up-to-date on routine vaccinations has become even more important. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Jodie Guest, PhD, discuss the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy, the risks and benefits of getting vaccinated, and how vaccines can be better distributed to populations in times of need. 

Bristow also answers your questions about what the latest recommendations are for people who have covid, whether to be concerned about “cortisol face,” how to handle heat rash, and the health effects of air pollution. Plus, the Sick of the Week.
