Dr. Carl Latkin: The Importance of Vaccines in Getting Back to “Normal.”

Dr. Carl Latkin, Vice Chair, Department of Health, Behavior, and Society at Johns Hopkins University joins the Teen Think Tank Project.  Our discussion covered the importance of COVID vaccinations and the idea of vaccine hesitancy.   He also outlines what we can be doing to help society achieve “herd immunity.”  Finally, Dr. Latkin helps us understand what young change agents can do to help communicate with those who refuse to accept scientific advancement and dispel misinformation.
