    • Vaccination strategies aim to achieve herd immunity or protect individuals from diseases.herd immunity
    • Match the vaccination strategy with its description:
      Ring vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate around an outbreak
      Mass vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate a large population
      Targeted vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate specific groups
    • Ring vaccination is used during a widespread pandemic to achieve herd immunity quickly.
      False
    • What is an example of a vaccination strategy that targets a large population?
      Mass vaccination
    • An annual flu vaccination campaign is an example of a mass vaccination strategy.mass vaccination
    • What specific group is targeted in the HPV vaccination strategy?
      Teenagers
    • Order the types of vaccination strategies from most targeted to least targeted:
      1️⃣ Ring vaccination
      2️⃣ Mass vaccination
      3️⃣ Targeted vaccination
    • Mass vaccination aims to achieve herd immunity by vaccinating a majority of the population.
    • Match the vaccine type with its description:
      Inactivated vaccines ↔️ Use killed pathogens or parts
      Live attenuated vaccines ↔️ Use weakened pathogens
      Subunit vaccines ↔️ Contain specific antigens
    • Inactivated vaccines stimulate an antibody response without causing disease.disease
    • Which type of vaccine uses weakened pathogens to stimulate a strong immune response?
      Live attenuated
    • mRNA vaccines stimulate both humoral and cellular immune responses.
    • Match the vaccine type with its example:
      Inactivated vaccines ↔️ Influenza vaccine
      Live attenuated vaccines ↔️ Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine
      mRNA vaccines ↔️ COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna)
    • What type of response does the inactivated influenza vaccine stimulate in the body?
      Antibody production
    • Inactivated vaccines use killed pathogens or parts of pathogens to stimulate an antibody response.
    • What is the main difference between active and passive immunity?
      Antibody source
    • Active immunity provides long-term protection because the body produces its own antibodies.
    • The measles vaccine provides active immunity.
    • What is the basic reproduction number denoted by?
      R0R_{0}
    • Herd immunity protects unvaccinated individuals by reducing disease spread.
    • What are the three main types of vaccination strategies?
      Ring, mass, targeted
    • Ring vaccination involves vaccinating individuals around an outbreak to prevent spread.
    • Match the vaccination strategy with its description:
      Ring Vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate around an outbreak
      Mass Vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate a large population
      Targeted Vaccination ↔️ Vaccinate specific groups
    • Which vaccination strategy is used during annual flu vaccination campaigns?
      Mass vaccination
    • Passive immunity provides immediate but temporary protection.
    • Breast milk provides newborns with passive immunity.
    • What value of R0R_{0} indicates that herd immunity is achieved?

      R_{0} < 1</latex>
    • Unvaccinated individuals are protected indirectly through herd immunity.
    • What are some key challenges in vaccine development?
      Cost, storage, delivery
    • Ultra-cold storage requirements for vaccines present logistical challenges in remote areas.
    • Arrange the factors affecting vaccine effectiveness in a logical sequence:
      1️⃣ Vaccine type
      2️⃣ Strain matching
      3️⃣ Individual immune response
    • Which type of vaccine often provides stronger immunity?
      Live attenuated vaccines
    • Mismatched strains in vaccines can reduce their effectiveness.
    • Some individuals may not mount a sufficient immune response to vaccines.
    • Vaccine effectiveness is influenced by several factors, including vaccine type, strain matching, and individual immune response
    • Live attenuated vaccines often provide stronger immunity compared to inactivated vaccines.
    • Match the factor with its impact on vaccine effectiveness:
      Vaccine Type ↔️ Live attenuated vaccines provide stronger immunity
      Strain Matching ↔️ Mismatched strains reduce effectiveness
      Individual Immune Response ↔️ Variability can affect immunity levels
    • The effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies annually based on how well it matches the circulating flu strains
    • Vaccination strategies are methods to achieve herd immunity.
    • Order the three main types of vaccination strategies:
      1️⃣ Ring Vaccination
      2️⃣ Mass Vaccination
      3️⃣ Targeted Vaccination
