What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHealth officials are urging Americans to check their measles vaccination status.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor most adults, one MMR shot is enough, but some situations call for a second dose.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy guest turned that into a morning routine. Saoirse Lindqvist-Bell founded Rise and Glow Wellness Collective. Thanks for being here.
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellHank, so happy! My Immunity Sunrise has eleven steps, and step one is the jade face roller. Use code GLOW-MMR-FOREVER for twenty percent off.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet me ask you about the medical part. Which step is checking your vaccination records?
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellOh, that's step nine, right after the oat milk ritual. Use code GLOW-NINE-DOT-FIVE, it's a whole vibe.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd do you get to step nine most mornings?
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellThe roller takes a while, Hank. My face is very large. Use code ROLLER-IS-LIFE-SEVENTEEN.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo in all your mornings, have you actually made it to step nine?
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellNever.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you don't know whether you've had a second dose.
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellI know I have a wonderful aura, and my sponsors say that counts. Use code NOT-A-DOCTOR-ONE-HUNDRED.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat code doesn't exist either. Same as step nine, apparently.
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellOkay, fine, my mother has a folder somewhere in Ohio. It is behind the Christmas tablecloths, and I am afraid of it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe free step is calling your doctor's office and asking for your records. It takes one phone call.
Saoirse Lindqvist-BellIs there a code for that?
