In this episode, listeners discover the fascinating and complex workings of the immune system as it combats infections and pathogens.

The episode takes a deeper look into how vaccines — specifically the flu shot — help strengthen our immune defenses, not just for children and the elderly, but for everyone. It emphasizes the critical role vaccines play in preventing severe illness and high healthcare costs.

Episode Overview:
  • The immune system’s response to pathogens: macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells.
  • How Helper T cells and B cells defend the body and create long-lasting immunity.
  • Flu vaccines: How they work, who needs them, and why they’re crucial for public health.
  • Debunking myths around the flu vaccine and explaining its safety for children, the elderly, and pregnant women.
  • Financial implications of flu treatment vs. preventive vaccination.
