1 hour per week. This class comes with an in-class assignment, which includes the participant's thoughts regarding certain vaccine-related questions.Assessment
Each student will be assessed based on the following criteria: 1. The degree of engagement and participation, whether assignment and activities expected were produced and submitted on time. 2. How well they demonstrate they have understood the materials; this can be done, for example, by referencing relevant ideas and concepts, introducing supporting ideas and examples from their personal experience. 3. The “quality” of their engagement: the degree to which they enrich and move the activity forward, through astute analysis, thinking outside the literal confines of the topic.Class Experience
US Grade 8 - 11
The story of vaccines begins with the long history of infectious diseases in humans, especially with the use of smallpox virus materials to provide immunity against this disease. Historical evidence reveals that the Chinese applied smallpox inoculation as early as 1000 CE. It was used later in Turkey and African countries before it was introduced to Western countries. Louis Pasteur’s rabies vaccine was the next important discovery that made an impact on the treatment of human disease. Vaccines against diphtheria, anthrax, cholera, tetanus, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the early 20th (twentieth) century. Today, innovative technologies, drive vaccine research, with mRNA and recombinant DNA technology and new delivery techniques. The course is designed to help the learners to improve their knowledge regarding immunization and immunization delivery. The more advanced version of this course for the more senior levels will be offered when requested. This course updates frequently to reflect on ongoing events in the areas of new vaccine developments and new variants. It is highly recommended also to take 'DNA: Decoding the Universal Language of Life', so you better understand the concept of DNA or RNA vaccines.
Learning Goals
1. Recognise the definitions and applications of the terms used in the course.
2. The history of vaccination to illustrate the outcomes of vaccine strategies to control infectious diseases.
3. The strategies available for developing a vaccine.
4. Discuss the prospects for developing a vaccine against certain infectious diseases.Other Details
