On the latest episode of Healthy You: Surviving a Pandemic, Frank Sesno talks with John Andrus, American physician, epidemiologist and immunization specialist at the Milken Institute School of Public Health about the new COVID-19 infections that have come from the UK, South Africa and Brazil and whether the race to get shots in arms will ultimately affect whether we are able to get herd immunity.
“What it does is underline the priority of urgency of rapid deployment as fast as we can get those shots in arms. The longer we wait the longer it takes to roll it out (the vaccine) the more time this virus has a chance to mutate.”

We’re eleven months in and the pandemic is still hitting our community hard. The Public Health Student Association has heard from students who are facing critical needs during the pandemic - peers who are having trouble connecting to online classes because of internet access or technology barriers, whose housing situation was destabilized, or who are facing food instability. We know some of our peers are struggling and we don’t want anyone in the School of Public Health family to struggle alone.
That’s why PHSA is raising money for the Public Health Rapid Response Fund to meet the most urgent needs within the student body. Your gifts to this fund will directly aid students who are facing these kinds of critical needs. https://www.givecampus.com/f7cz69

EOH faculty member David Michaels remembers Jack Geiger, a champion of community health centers:
"Some of my favorite Jack stories involve his reminiscences about Dr. Count Gibson and Dr. John Hatch who, along with Jack, pioneered the community health centers program in Mound Bayou Mississippi and Columbia Point, Boston. Much of their experience has been beautifully captured in John Ward’s wonderful book, Out in the Rural: Mississippi Health Center and its War on Poverty, written in collaboration with Jack and John (Count died in 2002). Our School’s Geiger Gibson Program, with the help of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, supported John Ward’s epic work, which draws on a vast amount of historical material maintained by the University of North Carolina, on whose faculty John Hatch served following his doctoral studies at its renowned school of public health."
