The Kids Crew learn the science, history, and current schedule of vaccination from Newberry Honor winning author Dr. Rajani Larocca, and from the Center for Disease Control’s Dr. Georgina Peacock. Plus we meet Dr. Richard Corsi, a pioneer of the cheap D-I-Y air purifier.

This time on The Children’s Hour, we wanted to understand vaccines. First we learn how they work within our bodies from Newberry Honor winning author Dr. Rajani Larocca. Her new book A Vaccine Is Like A Memory illustrates the history and science behind vaccinations.

The Kids Crew also talks with Center for Disease Control’s Dr. Georgianne Peacock about the US vaccine schedule, and what’s up with the COVID vaccine. The Kids Crew ask about tracking COVID 19 in 2023, and how the CDC is preparing for the next pandemic. Find the CDC’s Vaccination Schedule for kids up to 18 years old by clicking here.

Then we meet Dr. Richard Corsi who helped pioneer the Corsi/Rosenthal Do-it-Yourself box air purifier designed to make it easy for schools to clean the air. Find the full instructions posted at https://cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filters.
