Hi, we are writing an article for MDLinx seeking physicians' quotes on the issue of rebranding of vaccines as peptides. Please answer as many or as few questions as your time allows: Scientifically, why is “peptide” not an appropriate replacement for the term “vaccine”? Where do peptides fit into current vaccine science? Do you think changing terminology could improve vaccine conversations with hesitant patients, or risk creating more confusion? How should clinicians respond when patients bring up alternative terminology for vaccines they encountered online?
