Conversation with Dr. Bright Zhou
Q: How do you balance social media advocacy and your clinical work?

Vaccines with Dr. Alex McDonald
Q: Are there any common myths that you feel like you want to debunk or you feel like you wish more people understood?

Vaccines with Dr. Alex McDonald
Q: What trends are you seeing in vaccination rates post-pandemic?

Vaccines are becoming deeply politicized, and there's a significant amount of misinformation and disinformation spread about them, leading to distrust and confusion among the public.
