A Defining Moment for Vaccine and Science Policy - Professor Sinha

About this episode

This episode discusses the changing landscape of vaccine policy in the U.S. with Dr. Michael Sinha.

Vaccine policy in the United States is experiencing a period of great change under the direction of Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Schedules for young children are being adjusted, access to certain vaccines is being limited, and reporting requirements are being reduced. These changes will certainly impact attitudes and policy for years to come. This topic is the subject of the upcoming Center for Health Law Studies symposium. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Michael Sinha. Dr. Sinha is a professor in the Center for Health Law Studies and an expert in public health law. The symposium discussing this topic will be held on Friday, March 27. Zoom and in person. MO CLE credits available. Register here: https://www.slu.edu/law/health/speakers-and-programs/symposia.php
