For the past 2 years I’ve been fortunate to meet monthly with a small group of @feinberg.northwestern.edu students; today was our final meetup before their clinical rotations. Knowing what it’s like to be a busy (and broke!) med student, this kind gesture means more than they know! Purple pride 🥹💜

A baby’s immune system is ready for the hepatitis B vaccine as soon as they are born, and giving newborns the first dose vaccine within 24 hours of birth (with additional doses at 1-2 months and 6-18 months) remains the best protection against serious health problems like liver disease and cancer.

8 year-old in clinic today: Me: “Are you nervous?” (ready to tell her it’s OK to be nervous) Patient (immediately and matter-of-factly): “Of course not. Doctors are here to help us.” YES, exactly. Can we make her the head of HHS please?

Everyone needs to keep speaking up to make sure we have options for the 2025-2026 influenza season.

Alarmingly, RFK Jr has been confirmed. The lone Republican vote against him? Senator Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor. #MedSky #rfk #rfkjr #health #healthcare

My son flew back to Chicago today (yay!) and snapped this beautiful pic on his descent into O’Hare. You can even see Wrigley! 😍

“Everyone who serves with me on the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory committee is a vaccine skeptic. Pharmaceutical companies must prove to us that a vaccine is safe, that it’s effective.” From Paul Offit, MD:

My job is to ask tough questions of vaccine makers. That’s not what he is doing.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?
