Paper details
As your final exercise in the course, you will be asked to create a public health message to explain and
sway the general public to get vaccinated (infographic). For this exercise you can choose the following
vaccines to create your message for:
1. Flu Vaccine
2. Covid-19 vaccine
3. HPV (Gardasil) for males
These are chosen because they are controversial and many arguments can be made for and against
getting them by some populations.
Your job, as an epidemiologist and public health professional, is to use the attached article
AJPH.2020.306036 S Quinn.pdf and any other resources, to craft a message and explain and sway the
general public to get vaccinated.
Your message should be no more than 1 page, one-sided (not a brochure that is double-sided), and can
contain visuals elements. You should write at least 100 words of text, but it can include more if needed.
Please see the following guide for ideas simply_put.pdf. Source the graphics you use if you need to or if
they are copyrighted or make your own graphics. This should be easily read by the general public so the
reading level of a 7th or 8th grader (12-14-year-olds) reading level, not higher or harder for them to
understand. The audience is the general public. You can’t use epidemiological jargon that the general
public would not understand. It should take only 30 seconds to explain this or read this to someone.
Do not plagiarize any information. Check your Turnitin score and re-upload if needed to ensure your score
is <24% and in the "green" non-plagiarism zone. You will be graded on the following: Document uses appropriate grammar, spelling, word choice, is free of typos, etc. Document makes a strong, unique, and/or creative "pitch" or argument to the audience. Document is at an appropriate reading level. Document is visually pleasing and easily readable. Document provides accurate information based on known scientific evidence at this time. The document shows evidence of the student attempting to bridge the gap between science and public opinion
