1768: Queer The Deal
Dr. Richard Besser Defends Maternal Vaccination on PBS
Dr. Richard Besser argued on PBS that removing COVID-19 vaccines from the recommended schedule denies access to low-income families. He emphasized that maternal vaccination provides antibodies to infants who are too young for their own shots. Besser expressed concern that the lack of a federal recommendation would end the "Vaccines for Children" program's requirement to provide the shots for free.
