For my English 2010 Report writing assingment I chose to write about how vaccinations work and the number of vaccinations given each year in Utah. While researching my topic I came across a report I really liked. The report I found was “Vaccination Behaviour Influences Self-Report of Influenza Vaccination Status: A Cross-Sectional Study among Health Care Workers.” In this study the authors, Llupia, Anna, Alberto L. García-Basteiro, Guillermo Mena, José Ríos, Joaquim Puig, José M. Bayas, and Antoni Trilla, begin their report with establishing their credability. All of the authors work in the healthcare field and share studies they have performed on vaccinations and what they have witnessed in their jobs. In the report the authors also use tables, charts, and graphs to relay the data they found. I liked a lot of the strategies the authors used in the report “Vaccination Behavior Influences Self-Report of Influenza Vaccination Status: A Cross-Sectional Study among Health Care Workers.” In my own report I would like to establish my credibility and that of the research I use at the beginning of my report. I would also like to use a lot of graphs and tables in my report to add to the credibility and the information on my topic. I will not only use the graphs and tables but I will also adress them in my writing and explain the reason I have used each graph. Practice: Many people have wondered how vaccines work and have been afraid to vaccinate their children. Vaccinations act as a training or workout for your immune system. While preparing the body for disease, vaccines are in fact the actual disease. Most vaccines used to prevent diseases possess either a dead version of the virus or one that is less strong. This is done so your immune system will built up antibodies to attack the actual virus to prevent you from being effected by it. To those of you who have not been vaccinated out of fear, this chart shows the change in mortality rates in the US due to the measles disease. The mortality rates shown decrease due to the effectiveness of the measles vaccine. As more and more people are vaccinated with the measles vaccine, less and less people die from it every year due to the antibody build up.
