Our very special guest, the former Chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunology, Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, joins Emma and Christo to highlight the importance of prevention of infectious diseases and how this could change the future of child health and the NHS itself. 

The panel discusses population health in general, children with immunodeficiencies, vaccine uptake and vaccine hesitancy amongst much else.  

Professor Sir Andrew Pollard is Professor of Infection and Immunity at the University of Oxford, Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group and was Chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) for 12 years until June 2025.
