In this episode, Hot 97.9 host Shani Sweets sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Johnson, Pediatrician at Advance Community Health, to explore the importance of immunizations.
Dr. Johnson is committed to ensuring that every family in our community is well informed, not misinformed, about vaccines. She emphasizes that the best way to stay healthy and protected is by keeping up with your scheduled immunizations. While missing an appointment can happen, Dr. Johnson assures parents and caregivers that there are safe and effective ways to catch up on missed vaccinations, helping to ensure every child is fully protected.
This discussion breaks down why immunizations matter so much, how vaccines protect not only individuals but also entire communities, and what resources Advance Community Health offers to make this process easier for families. Dr. Johnson also addresses common myths and misconceptions about vaccines, reinforcing the importance of evidence-based healthcare and providing guidance for parents who have questions or concerns.
The Health & Hip Hop series, hosted by Shani Sweets, continues to provide a bridge between entertainment and public health by creating a platform for conversations that educate our local communities.
