DescriptionFor most people the risk from routine vaccines is extremely low and the benefit is very high, but a smaller group, including people with mast cell activation syndrome or a serious past reaction, may need an exemption. In this solo Q&A, immunologist and functional medicine physician Dr. Dean Mitchell explains how vaccines train the immune system, why childhood vaccines are timed the way they are, why he calls the measles vaccine a no brainer, and why he does not recommend COVID boosters. He covers common and rare vaccine reactions, how to document a reaction when an exemption is needed, and what he thinks about the flu shot, pneumococcal boosters, and the shingles vaccine. Dr. Mitchell also takes live questions on a severe reaction to a flu shot, vaccines during pregnancy, how to space a baby's vaccines, and vaccines and autism, plus MTHFR, B12, and homocysteine.Follow The Smartest Doctor In The Room on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so the next episode comes to you.
