Community Immunity: A simulation-based exploration of vaccination choices
Using simulations and role play, students explore how knowledge, social influences, access, and policy all influence whether individuals vaccinate. They then see how vaccination rates of a community determine whether an outbreak turns into an epidemic or gets stopped in its tracks.
Alignment summary( Target)
Lesson 1
In Lesson 1, students use the computer simulation model to better understand the uncertain and less predictable factors – vaccination rate and infection rate.
