You are an administrator at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. You are informed that a new strain of the flu virus is quickly spreading across the country. It is potentially life-threatening for young children and the elderly. The CDC quickly begins producing a vaccine for the new strain but there is not going to be enough vaccine produced to distribute to everyone in need. You are asked to identify how to distribute the vaccine in order to stop the spread of the disease. Who do you believe should receive the vaccine and why? Explain your answer use refrence
As the disease was being spread all over the Atlanta, CDC wants to distribute the vaccine to the people who are being affected by the disease. By going to every one house and distributing the vaccine to the diseased people was the harder thing and it was impossible. It will be easy to distribute the vaccine to the affected person by starting the vaccine distribution campaigns in every area and minimum 3 to 4 doctors should be appointed to give vaccine to the affected person. People who live in the low lying areas and also the people who are below the poverty line should be vaccinated. Every person should go the campaign area and should be vaccinated. For some people disease will be attacked and they cannot go for vaccination. Some of the doctors should be appointed to go for their houses and give the vaccination.
Low lying area people should be vaccinated because those people are not so educated and they doesn’t about the disease so that first priority should be given to them. If those people are vaccinated automatically spreading of the disease will be stopped.
