NPR’s Pien Huang interviews pediatrician Alexandra Cvijanovich and Professor Jason L. Schwartz about the current state of vaccine trust and recommendations.

PIEN HUANG, HOST:

There are significant developments in the vaccine landscape, with the CDC revising long-standing vaccine recommendations, causing a divide in public trust. To shed light on this complex situation, we turn to pediatrician Dr. Alexandra Cvijanovich and Professor Jason L. Schwartz from Yale School of Public Health. Thank you both for sharing your insights.

JASON L SCHWARTZ: Great to be here.

ALEXANDRA CVIJANOVICH: Thank you for having us.

HUANG: Jason, can you highlight some of the recent changes in the vaccine domain?

SCHWARTZ: The recent months have seen a wave of shifting announcements and decisions questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines. A notable instance is the replacement of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices members, signaling a shift towards skepticism about vaccines. This change sets the tone for future vaccine discussions on a national level.

HUANG: Dr. Cvijanovich, have there been any tangible changes in vaccine accessibility for children and adults?

CVIJANOVICH: As of now, there have been no changes in vaccine availability at the ground level.

HUANG: The CDC’s recommendation for COVID vaccines in children and pregnant women has transitioned from a universal endorsement to a shared decision-making model. Can you elaborate on this shift?

CVIJANOVICH: The shift to shared decision-making introduces a layer of uncertainty and doubt regarding vaccine necessity for specific populations, leading to more discussions and questions about vaccine safety.

HUANG: Jason, drawing from past fluctuations in public vaccine trust, what strategies have proven effective in rebuilding trust, and are we moving in that direction now?

SCHWARTZ: Historically, trust in vaccines has been bolstered by clear, empathetic communication from healthcare providers. To navigate the current turbulence, healthcare professionals must engage in open dialogue to address concerns and dispel misconceptions.

HUANG: Dr. Cvijanovich, can you share an anecdote about guiding a confused patient during these uncertain times?

CVIJANOVICH: I recently encountered a parent reluctant to vaccinate their child due to misinformation about mRNA vaccines. This highlights the challenge of combating misinformation and underscores the importance of informed discussions with hesitant families.

HUANG: Jason, how do you view Dr. Cvijanovich’s experience in the context of restoring vaccine trust?

SCHWARTZ: Dr. Cvijanovich’s encounter underscores the need for personalized, informed conversations to address vaccine hesitancy. By fostering trust and clarity, healthcare providers can play a pivotal role in dispelling doubts.

HUANG: Thank you to pediatrician Dr. Alexandra Cvijanovich and Professor Jason L. Schwartz for sharing your insights.
