Did Judy, Maria, and Chantelle make good choices?
1) Do you agree with CDC's position that "failure to vaccinate increases the risks to both the individual and society"?
2) Vaccines are given to healthy people; so what risks are acceptable?
3) What is the responsibility of the lawmakers and government for the health of everyone?
4) What are the rights of individuals; should vaccination be required by law?
5) What are the responsibilities of parents for their children's health?
6) What are the responsibilities of individuals (e.g., parents) for the health of society?
7) The rate at which an infection spreads or reproduces (R) is dependent on the number of susceptible people and the number (probability) of susceptible contacts (transmission) (R0). An epidemic exists when R>l. R = R0 x percentage of unvaccinated people. Students can try this calculation using a variety of measles outbreaks in which R0 values range from 5 (in Kansas) to 16 (in Nigeria). What level of vaccination is necessary to prevent an epidemic of measles?
