About this episode
They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but what happens when a pig or a bat get involved? As you may well know, those animals have been linked to major viral outbreaks in recent memory and – thanks to our immune systems – we have been able to fight those outbreaks.
This week, Drew & Liv bring on infectious disease expert, Dr. John Flaherty to talk all things immunity. You’ll learn about the new COVID-19 vaccine, why playing in a sandbox when you were little has benefitted you to this day, and the role animals play in population health.
