The biggest ongoing battle in medicine today is over the issue of vaccination. What is fuelling parents’ anxieties about vaccination, and is the medical community able to counter the anti-vaccination movement with scientific arguments alone?

Members of the panel are: Dato’ Dr Musa Mohd Nordin, Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatologist; Dr Karim Bettache, Social Psychologist, Monash University Malaysia; and Chan Li Jin, Health Activist.
