Episode 2/Vaccines: Pandemics vs Prosperity
2020 is shining a harsh light on what happens when people are forced to co-mingle with an infectious disease to which there is no immunity, vaccine or treatment.

DNA zooms up podcast charts in its first week
Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s original podcast series, Vanderbilt Health DNA: Discoveries in Action, rocketed to the top of the podcast charts in science, health and medicine in the first week since its launch.
Apple Podcasts listed the series as one of the top science podcasts on its platform within three days of launch. Likewise, other podcast streaming platforms have placed the series on top trending lists for health and medicine.
According to podcast analytics from Libsyn, the first episode of DNA was among the top 12% most downloaded shows last week. Thousands of listeners tuned in to explore the undercurrents shaping personalized medicine and how COVID-19 launched a telehealth initiative that changed how Tennesseans access care.
Conversations from VUMC experts continue with the launch of Episode 2: Vaccines: Pandemics vs. Prosperity. Listeners will hear from vaccine experts on what they think leads to vaccine hesitancy, why it’s increasingly important to fortify people’s understanding of vaccine science, and get a peek into the research going into the hunt for COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. Vaccine hesitancy is one of the World Health Organization’s top global threats to health.
