This is a well-researched and well-written piece that would benefit from tighter editing. The opening and closing, with nicely mixed actuality from the El Paso County vaccination clinic, work very well. Eric Whitney has a pleasing radio voice and provides some good narration. But the piece bogs down with some long interview pieces that tend to drag on, and are recorded from telephone lines with poor quality. Almost four minutes of a 7 ½ minute piece are telephone quality. With some judicious editing, this would make a nice five-minute piece.
