The HPV vaccine, intended to prevent certain cancers, first hit the market in 2006. Studies show that the vaccine works well. But vaccination rates have been underwhelming. Today we talk about how new dose recommendations could increase the number of people vaccinated. Also, we'll check in with the Columbus Food Action Plan, and the role of art and humanism in Ohio State's School of Medicine.
Guests:
- Dr. Gregory Zimet, Co-Director, Center for HPV Research, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
- Cheryl Graffagnino, Healthy Food Access Program Manager, Columbus Public Health
- Dr. Linda Stone, Past Chair for Humanism and the Arts, Ohio State University College of Medicine
