What do you mean by 'other'? Were there even more courses in the first place?
Yes. This is the fourth thread on coursera. Check out coursera.org. If you click on "explore courses," and scroll ALL the way down, you should see courses that are over but might still have the lectures and materials available.0 -

This course is scheduled in September, and while it's not "Food and Nutrition" it's definitely a health issue. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccines, please take the time to check this one out too.

Paul A. Offit, MD
This course will discuss issues regarding vaccines and vaccine safety: the history, science, benefits, and risks of vaccines, together with the controversies surrounding vaccines and answers to common questions that parents have about vaccines.
About the Course
This course will discuss issues regarding vaccines and vaccine safety. Specifically,
1) the history of vaccines, focusing on different strategies used during the past two centuries to make them,
2) the science of vaccines, focusing on methods of attenuation of various viruses and bacteria,
3) the benefits of vaccines, focusing on the impact of vaccines on health both in the United States and abroad,
4) the risks of vaccines, both real and perceived,
5) the controversies surrounding vaccines, specifically that vaccines cause autism, multiple sclerosis, neurodevelopmental delays, diabetes or other chronic problems, and
6) answers to common questions that parents have about vaccines, such as the fear that too many vaccines given too soon weaken, overwhelm, or perturb the immune system or that vaccines contain harmful additives or manufacturing residuals.
For additional information about vaccines, the Vaccine Education Center, or its program for parents, called Parents PACK, please visit:

So glad there's a shout-out to this! I'm currently enrolled in the Nutrition for Health Promotion & Disease Prevention class. A lot of it is stuff you'd probably know if you frequently research health and nutrition, but I've learned a few interesting things from it as well. I'm also taking The Fiction of Relationship and The Social Context of Mental Health and Illness, though of course those courses are not related to MFP so closely.0
