#337.Vaccines and Pandemic Preparedness with Amesh Adalja MD

Episode#337-Taped April 29, 2026

We talk about vaccines, pandemic preparedness and emerging infectious diseases.

Vaccines remain one of the most powerful public health tools that we have. A 2024 Lancet study estimated that global immunization efforts saved 154 million lives over the past 50 years- that's about 6 lives every minute.

Joining us is Dr. Amesh Adalja MD, a board-certified infectious diseases, critical care, emergency medicine, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He is also an affiliate of the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health. Dr. Adalja will discuss with us evidence-based insights on vaccines and their importance in our lives and health and well-being. Are we pandemic prepared? And what can we do as individuals to protect ourselves and have long-term health protection.
