The History of Beer and Vaccines

Nothing hits the spot on a sweltering summer day quite like an ice-cold beer — and August just happens to be International Beer Month. Manny Munoz sits down with Dr. Malcolm Purinton of Northeastern University, who teaches the History of Beer, Alcohol, and Food, to explore the fascinating story behind the world’s favorite brew.

💉 Then, with pandemic aftershocks still rippling and vaccine hesitancy on the rise, outbreaks of diseases like measles and whooping cough are making headlines again. Dr. Ulrich von Andrian, Professor of Immunopathology at Harvard Medical School and President of the American Association of Immunologists, joins Manny to explain why immunization matters now more than ever.
