Last week, Kennedy announced the U.S. would not renew its $1.2 billion commitment to the global vaccine agency Gavi.
The new Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices also met for the first time last week since Kennedy fired and then replaced its members.
We talk about the outlook for U.S. vaccine policy both at home and abroad.
Then, we switch gears to discuss the link between menopause and an increased risk of cardiovascular illness.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in the U.S. according to the American Heart Association. We discuss the link between heart health and menopause.
