Should vaccination be mandatory?
Experts agree that once we have a vaccine for Covid-19, we will need the vast majority of the population to take it - enough so we get to herd immunity. But the rise of the anti-vaccine movement has already led to outbreaks of diseases we thought were long gone. And now, in the midst of a global pandemic, the risk of further outbreaks is heightened because parents of young kids are afraid to go to the doctor’s office to get their shots. Once we finally have a vaccine that’s safe, effective, and available, how do we make sure people actually take it? Guests: Dr. Linda Goldstein, Rabbi Avi Schnall, Paul Offit
