Vaccine Timeline A Look Through Time START
Instructions: • For this assignment you will use the following timeline to answer questions 1 and 2. Before answering the questions, be sure to click on each year of the timeline. To answer question 3 you will need to find credible resources dealing with the topic on the internet. This assignment is to be turned in on paper. • Why is it possible to eliminate a disease like smallpox but not tetanus? • Compare Dr. RRK’s children’s immunization records which can be found within the timeline. For each child list the ages that they received the Hepatitis B vaccine as well as the Chicken Pox (Varicella) vaccine. What accounts for the differences you see in the ages they received them? Are there any vaccines that one child has that another doesn’t, and WHY? • Write a paragraph discussing the conditions surrounding the retraction of the Rotavirus vaccine from the market. Can you find specifics as to why the Rotavirus vaccine was initially sent out into the market and then later pulled? To Timeline
