V for Vaccination

By Mary Cintron, Nimanthi Kumara, Tyler Lebner, Chiara Bacchini

Scientific information is easily accessible from a variety of different sources and platforms. However, this information is not vetted and with this current age of anti-science and anti-vaccination sentiments, there is a large number of myths and misconceptions regarding vaccine and vaccine-preventable diseases. Social media and the internet are full of misconceptions and false publicity concerning vaccines and diseases, and, in particular, regarding COVID-19 and its vaccine. Sometimes, people are more prompt to believe in false information and, as a result, think that vaccines can cause damage to our bodies or vaccine-preventable diseases are no longer around. With the growing popularity of podcasts, we created V for Vaccination. V for Vaccination is a podcast about vaccines, vaccine-preventable diseases, and other related information to help guide individuals to make the best, most informed decisions and choices when it comes to vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases. We discuss vaccine-preventable diseases and COVID-19, as well as the available vaccines, myths and misconceptions, and related topics.
