Rethinking Vaccine Policy: A Conversation with Dr. Monique Yohanan | Let People Prosper Ep. 169

​What if our approach to vaccines—one of the greatest medical achievements in history—has lost sight of its most important principle: trust?
In this week’s Let People Prosper Show, I talk with Dr. Monique Yohanan, a physician, policy leader, and innovator who’s spent more than 20 years at the crossroads of medicine, technology, and public policy. She’s the Chief Medical Officer at Adia Health, where she leads work on AI-powered diagnostic tools, and a Senior Fellow at Independent Women’s Forum, where she’s shaking up the national conversation with her new paper, Rethinking Vaccine Policy: A Case for Humility, Precision, and Parental Partnership.

Dr. Yohanan trained at Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard, and Stanford, and has taught at UCSF and Stanford. She’s a nationally recognized voice on evidence-based medicine, having worked on issues from pain management and mental health parity to the opioid crisis and healthcare technology reform.

In this conversation, we delve into how public health can rebuild trust by respecting parents, embracing precision, and utilizing technology wisely.
