This year, One of our One Book themes is infectious disease and disease prevention. This video talks about misinformation revolving around the HPV vaccine. This is an important video that hits the key points. The only way to fight misinformation is with accurate information, so please share.

Aaron takes the opportunity to talk about HPV, how the vaccine works, how safe it is, and how misinformation is preventing us from saving lives.
