About this listen
In this episode, I speak with Rekha Lakshmanan, chief strategy officer at the Immunization Partnership (Tip) a Houston-based non-profit that "works to significantly increase state immunization rates by being a source of leading research, industry expertise and specialist knowledge; keeping communities informed of vaccination benefits and advising them on how they can use that knowledge to promote change; and advocating at the Texas Legislature for public policy that improves access to vaccination and permits healthcare professionals to build healthy communities." We speak on all these things and she shares how conversations about vaccinations can be difficult and surprisingly rewarding, fighting disinformation and building trust, the state of immunization (pro and anti) bills in Texas legislature (54 filed at the time of this recording) and what drives her passion for this work.
