Halloween candy is lining the shelves, school is in full swing, and gourds are EVERYWHERE. But most of all, cold weather is just around the corner, which means it’s time to check back in with everyone’s favorite epidemiologist, Dr. Emily Landon! (Hopefully one day we can talk to her about something other than coronavirus.)

We talk about what she’s expecting in the months ahead, including some VERY exciting news about a vaccine for kids ages five through 11 (!!!). The warmest of elbow bumps to everyone who sent in questions!
