COVID-19 vaccine guidelines and the war on Tylenol: Illinois Public Health Director Sameer Vohra on changing federal policies

The Trump administration has left American public health in a state of transition. There has been a recent push to scale back vaccine recommendations, including for COVID-19, with the government recommending the shots only for people age 65 and up or with an underlying health condition. The administration also recently announced that Tylenol use among pregnant woman is a leading cause of autism. 

The head of Illinois' public health department discusses how the state is responding to all of these changes coming from the federal government.
