Take a Shot: Immunisation is a collaboration with Pfizer Malaysia, in conjunction with World Immunisation Week 2013.

In our first episode, we take on a historical perspective of vaccination, looking from its humble beginnings and its pioneers, Edward Jenner and Louis Pasteur, to the major global initiative it is today. We hear from voices as varied as Dr. Maria Guevara from Medecines sans Frontieres, Dr. Adriano Arguedas of Pfizer, Dato' Dr. Zulkifli Ismail, consultant paediatrician.
