He is a co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine, licensed in 2006, that is estimated to save hundreds of lives every year. Dr. Offit relaxes and recharges by reading fiction, binge-watching great television series, following Philadelphia sports teams, watching movies, listening to podcasts, and walking. He follows politics all too closely and does not consider that relaxing.
