The Follow-Up: Vaccine Truths from Two Docs

In honor of National Immunization Awareness Month, Dr. Mona brings back one of her most important conversations—this time with fellow pediatrician and vaccine advocate, Dr. Nicole Baldwin.

Together, they break down:

• Why they vaccinate their own kids

• What parents misunderstand about vaccine risks

• The real stories of vaccine-preventable illnesses they’ll never forget

• Why pediatricians aren’t “trained for half a day on vaccines” (and other wild myths that won’t die)

• What families need to know to make informed, confident choices

This episode gets personal, practical, and powerful because in a world full of misinformation, hearing directly from two doctors who live this every day can make all the difference.
