Jacqueline is writing an essay on the importance of vaccinations for children. She will be reading her essay to her peers who know little about
vaccinations, but most of them were vaccinated as children. Then, she will be reading her essay at a health conference where there will be many
new parents who are divided on the issue. Based on her purpose and audience, determine which excerpts from her speech would be best used with
which type of audience.
In 2013, more than 100,000 children died
of measles. These deaths could have been
prevented by administering the measles
vaccination.
You hate getting shots at the
doctor's office, but did ya know
that it has part of a weakened
organism in it so your body can
fight it. Seems pretty cool actually.
If you're not up to date with your
vaccinations, you put other kids at
risk. We don't wanna do that, right?
Before a vaccination is administered, it
goes through testing to make sure that
it is safe to use, and manufacturers use
a post-licensure surveillance system
to ensure that vaccines are some of
the safest products in all of medicine."
