H. Keipp B. Talbot, MD, MPH is a Professor of Medicine and Health Policy within the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. As a dual appointee in Medicine and Health Policy, Dr. Talbot has played a pivotal role in the evaluation of viral respiratory diseases in adults and the evaluation of new and existing vaccines in older adults so as to improve immunization policy and vaccine development. Her goal is to continue to evaluate the use and effectiveness of vaccines, with a focus on prevention of infection and morbidity in adults. Dr. Talbot began her career by investigating the presentation of influenza in hospitalized adults. Her recent work has contributed to our understanding of the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. Dr. Talbot is the Chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and has served as the chair of the ACIP’s Influenza Vaccine Work Group and co-chair of the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group. She has authored more than 200 manuscripts. Her work has informed national policy on the implementation of enhanced influenza vaccines for older adults, the use of pneumococcal vaccines in the setting of changing epidemiology, and COVID-19 vaccine introduction and use. Dr. Talbot currently co-leads the Tennessee Emerging Infections Program at Vanderbilt, which works to better understand viral respiratory disease epidemiology and inform vaccine policy.
