• Instructions
• For this assignment you will use the following
  timeline to answer questions 1 and 3. To answer
  question 2 you will need to find creditable
  resources dealing with the topic on the internet.
  DUE 3/2/2004 This assignment is to be turned
  in on paper.
• Why is it possible to eliminate a disease like
  smallpox but not tetanus?
• Write a paragraph discussing the conditions
  surrounding the retraction of the Rotavirus
  vaccine from the market. Specifically compare
  the sample size used in the trials for testing
  the Rotavirus vaccine to that of the complication
  rate. Why is it that the Rotavirus vaccine was
  initially viewed as safe?
• Compare Dr. Kortums childrens 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 doesnt, and WHY?
