💉📊 "These changes appear to most vaccine experts—clinical care providers, pediatricians, pharmacists, [NPs], PAs, [others] who provide care for children—as baseless, as far as scientific information."

Dr. Mary Hayney (UW) joins WORT FM to discuss the CDC's recent changes to vaccine recommendations.

There’s often +15-year gap between the identification of best clinical practices and their implementation at the bedside. Alum Tom Dilworth is co-leading a $2.5 million project to close that gap for #pediatric #antibiotic prescribing. https://bit.ly/49vZ5A3 #RxSky #MedSky #PharmSky #IDSky
