Ep 9 | Can Vaccines Affect Others? What to Know About Shedding and Transmission from a Toxicologist

Can someone who’s recently been vaccinated put others at risk? What does “vaccine shedding” really mean—and why does it matter for parents making medical decisions?

In this episode of Well Considered, we welcome toxicologist Ashley Everly for a science-based breakdown of vaccine shedding, live virus transmission, and overlooked safety data. With a degree in Environmental Toxicology from UC Davis and experience in regulatory toxicology from an EPA Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Division, Ashley explains:

• Which vaccines are known to shed—and why
• Why symptom suppression isn't always a sign of protection
• What shedding means for babies, immune-compromised individuals, and everyday families
• How transmission risk is tested (or not) in safety trials
• The difference between exposure and actual infection

This episode is essential listening for parents concerned about their family's health in shared spaces—especially as vaccine schedules expand and new products hit the market. Whether you’ve been dismissed for asking these questions or you're just starting your research, this conversation is a must-hear.

Stay tuned for Part Two, where we explore practical steps to live confidently around shedding risks without fear or isolation next week!
