Unit 2: maintining the internal environment Claim The benefits of immunisation outweigh the risks. Rationale In the 19th and 20th centuries, childhood deaths were common due to many infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and poliomyelitis. Since vaccines have reduced the rate of many childhood infections, deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) are now very rare in developed countries and successful immune programs have caused the outbreak in developing countries over the past10-20 years. Babies and Children need 3 shots of DT vaccine to build up high levels of protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. Children aged 2, 4, 6, 15-18 months are recommended to receive DT (CDC, 2020). Diphtheria was once a major cause of illness and death among children. The United States recorded 206,000 cases of diphtheria rates dropped quickly in the United States and other countries that began widely vaccinating. Research Question Does immunising children aged 0-12 months old with the DT vaccine reduce the amount of deaths caused by Diphtheria worldwide?

You may identify an alternative claim in consultation with your teacher. This claim must be related to Unit 4 subject matter. Task Gather secondary evidence related to a research question in order to evaluate the claim. Develop your research question based on a number of possible claims provided by your teacher. Obtain evidence by researching scientifically credible sources, such as scientific journals, books by well- credentialed scientists, and websites of governments, universities, independent research bodies or science and technology manufacturers. You must adhere to research conventions.
