In honor of National Immunization Awareness Month, Dr. Mona brings back one of her most important conversations—this time with fellow pediatrician and vaccine advocate, Dr. Nicole Baldwin.

Together, they break down:

• 
  

  Why they vaccinate their own kids

  
  


• 
  

  What parents misunderstand about vaccine risks

  
  


• 
  

  The real stories of vaccine-preventable illnesses they’ll never forget

  
  


• 
  

  Why pediatricians aren’t “trained for half a day on vaccines” (and other wild myths that won’t die)

  
  


• 
  

  What families need to know to make informed, confident choices

  
  

This episode gets personal, practical, and powerful because in a world full of misinformation, hearing directly from two doctors who live this every day can make all the difference.
