Over the past several months Sharon Sanders of Flutrackers has interviewed a number of experts in the field of influenza for the Infectious Disease Hour on Radio Sandy Springs.

 

These interviews are initially webcast on Radio Sandy Springs 1620 AM on Monday afternoons at 4pm (EDT) and then are archived and may be downloaded from the Infectious Disease Show Archive

 

A few of the recent interviews have included:

On Monday, August 17th at 4pm EDT Sharon will interview Dr. William Schaffner, Chairman of the Department of Preventive Medicine as well as Professor of  Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

 

Dr. Schaffner is currently a liaison member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which  has been in the news the past couple of weeks, and is a former member of NVAC (National Vaccine Advisory Committee) making him uniquely qualified to discuss pandemic vaccine issues.

 

Radio Sandy Springs 1620 AM, is a low-powered Atlanta based talk radio station that simulcasts on the Internet.   Radio shows are archived about 48 hours after they are broadcast, and are available to download or listen to.

 

This ought to be an interesting hour, so make plans to listen, or to download the archive when it gets posted later this week.
