Is the C D C a Rigorous, a Little Bit of Moriphis E Proclamations?

Andy begins this jam-packed episode by talking about Pfizer's long-awaited vaccine for kids under 5 with Julie Morita, a pediatrician and executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Then he's joined by Safe or Not Safe alumna Caitlin Rivers, who is working to establish the new Center for Epidemic Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics at the CDC. Caitlin tells Andy what the group is doing to get ahead of future outbreaks and keep you safer and more informed about infectious diseases.
