Swain Sinus Show

Not everything in medicine can be treated with an antibiotic, and there is a big push for preventative health care. On the front lines of this preventive care are vaccines, the most significant advancement in medicine and possibly one of the most critical things physicians do every day. In this episode, Dr. Ron Swain, Jr. talks with Dr. Jennifer Adair from the Alabama Vaccine Advisory Committee about the role of immunization and vaccinations in preventing disease, and more specifically, the role of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Dr. Swain explores how this HPV vaccine is not just for sexually transmitted diseases but could be considered a cancer vaccine. Lastly, Dr. Adair explains the societal benefits of improved immunization rates, common side effects and when some vaccinations should not be administered to Children. Dr. Adair is passionate about this important (and sometimes controversial) subject, and she is an excellent resource for understanding the importance of vaccinations. Key Takeaways >
