On this episode of River to River, IPR’s Natalie Krebs talks about the efforts to address vaccine hesitancy across the state.

And Kassidy Arena has a remembrance of a Midwest public radio journalist, Aviva Okeson-Haberman, of KCUR in Kansas City, MO, who was killed by an apparent stray bullet. She was 24.
