Résumé
The presentation contained information about the virus, how it spreads, the vaccine, who should and should not take it, when it is recommended to be taken, how it invokes an immune response on a cellular level, and what role protein synthesis plays in the vaccine. Students and their partners were given one of seven viruses to research: measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, hepatitis B, rabies, or COVID-19. Students researched the disease and its vaccine type using credible sources, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), Johns Hopkins University, etc. Students answered the following questions: * How does the virus spread? * What are the symptoms of the virus? * How common is the virus? (statistical number) * What does the virus look like? (include picture with antigens shown) * When is the vaccine recommended by the CDC? * How often does the booster for the vaccine need to be taken? * Who should not receive the vaccine? * How does the vaccine work on a cellular level? (Be specific about the type of vaccine and how it invokes an immune response) * What role does protein synthesis play in the vaccine? * What is the vaccine efficacy or effectiveness? * Does the vaccine do any of the following: * Change the host cell's DNA? * Give the person the disease?
