238ds agoNews 12's Elizabeth Hashagen was joined this morning by Dr. Gregory Poland and his daughter, Caroline Poland, to talk about vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Gregory Poland is an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group, and Caroline Poland is a licensed mental health counselor.

How do we try to find a balance during a pandemic to let people be informed without causing fear?
