Sobre este episódio

If you're not up to date with your vaccinations, it might just be time to schedule an appointment with your doctor! When it comes to the diseases we’re going to be talking about today, you could be forgiven for thinking they were a thing of the past, consigned to history.  But believe it or not, some of them are making a comeback in the 21st century.

As a result, vaccination rates fell, and preventive measures were relaxed. What kind of diseases are we talking about? Did those diseases never really disappear then?
