Inside Health – What causes vaccine hesitancy?
Available for over a year
There have been almost 200 cases of measles in the UK this year. Measles can be prevented with vaccines, but the proportion of children vaccinated is falling across the UK, particularly in parts of London. James travels to Hackney, which has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, to find out why and see what is happening to tackle the problem. And have you tried an adaptogenic drink? They claim to relax the mind, without giving you a drunken hangover. James samples a few in the lab, then gets behind the wheel of a simulator to see what it does to his driving skills… Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Gerry Holt Researcher: Thomas Hunt Editor: Ilan Goodman Production Coordinator: Stuart Laws Sound Engineer: Giles Aspen Inside Health was produced by the BBC’s Audio Science Unit in collaboration with the Open University.
