Combatiendo la Desinformación sobre Vacunas y Fomentando la Defensa de la Vacunación

In this episode, host Shelley Fritz is joined by Dr. Scott Roberts, Infectious Diseases Specialist and Associate Medical Director of Infection Prevention at the Yale School of Medicine, and Samantha Picking, PharmD, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens, to discuss why Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is no longer just a concern for infants, but a growing threat to adults, especially older adults and those living with chronic conditions.

The conversation breaks down who’s most at risk, how RSV symptoms differ from COVID and flu, and what’s new in prevention and vaccination for 2025. The guests also explain how RSV can worsen existing conditions like asthma, COPD, or heart disease, and offer practical guidance on coordinating RSV, flu, and COVID vaccines for the best seasonal protection.

Whether you’re living with a chronic illness, caring for someone who is, or simply preparing for respiratory virus season, this episode offers clear, evidence-based insights on how to stay informed, protected, and healthy.

RSV Isn’t Just for Kids: The Rise of Adult Risk

In this episode, host Shelley Fritz is joined by Dr. Tyler Evans, Infectious-Disease and Public-Health Physician; Samantha Picking, PharmD, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens; and Stephanie Lebsack, a chronic-lung-disease patient and advocate.

Our guests also address how misinformation and politicization have complicated public-health efforts, and why protecting vulnerable communities requires both science and empathy.

Whether you’re living with a chronic condition, caring for someone who is, or simply navigating life post-pandemic, this episode offers clear, evidence-based insights on how to stay informed, protected, and prepared.
