This section covers the topic of disease prevention through vaccinations.
In this activity students take part in a simulation to see how vaccines are used to prevent the spread of infections.
In an alternative activity for more able students, students examine World Health Organisation (WHO) data on the measles vaccination and attempt to explain why measles kills more children in Africa than in Europe despite the vaccine being available.
The extension activity asks students to assess which vaccines are necessary to visit certain countries of the world, and why.
