Shot in the Arm

In the spring of 2019, before anyone had heard of COVID-19, filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy began investigating a global measles epidemic. Filming with top public health officials–including Tony Fauci, Paul Offit and Peter Hotez – as well as rare interviews with anti-vaccine activists - like Robert Kennedy, Jr., Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree - those who were persuading parents by the millions to refuse vaccines for their children.

Then COVID-19 happened.

Both skeptical and hopeful, SHOT IN THE ARM explores vaccine hesitancy historically and in the context of the pandemic.
