In Part 2 of my conversation with vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit, we take a deep dive into the most frequent vaccine questions families ask pediatricians today. We cover concerns like giving multiple vaccines at once, whether it’s safer to space out shots, why certain vaccines are given at birth, and how to explain the roles of preservatives like aluminum and thimerosal. Dr. Offit offers clear, evidence-based answers while also showing understanding for the emotions and uncertainty many parents feel.

Dr. Paul Offit is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, and the co-inventor of the RotaTeq vaccine. He’s served on the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee and is one of the leading voices in vaccine education. His guidance has helped shape vaccine policy worldwide—and I couldn’t be more thankful he joined me for this conversation.
