Describe the disease the vaccine was developed to prevent
You are a reporter working in a year in the past and writing an article about a new vaccine. Your article will take place in the year the vaccine was invented (or approved for use by the general public) and should be written as if it were a current event. It is your job to deliver information about the new vaccine and create public awareness.
- Choose one vaccine and list the date and person(s) or company responsible for creating it. Describe the disease the vaccine was developed to prevent including the microorganism that causes it. Provide a short background about the severity and effects of the disease at the “current” time period.
