2. What do you think was the best resource provided on the CDC website?
Preparing for international travel is the perfect way to ensure you are up to date on all of your vaccines, as well as vaccines you might need to travel. The CDC website is a great resource for that. Many people don't bother to research what vaccines are needed when they decide to travel. However, CDC should be a requirement when purchasing a travel ticket. All of the CDC recourses offer great information that can help prevent the spread of diseases and/or death. We all want to enjoy a vacation safely and CDC is the best way to prevent some health problems during or after the vacation.

Task 1: Be aware of the current health issues in French Polynesia. On the CDC website, it states that as of July 6, 2015 the (PacNet) reported local transmission of chikungunya in several islands in the central and south Pacific Ocean. This means that mosquitoes in the area have been infected with chikungunya. There is currently no vaccine or medicine to prevent chikungunya. The only way to prevent chikungunya is to prevent mosquito bites.
Task 2: Vaccines cannot protect me from many diseases in French Polynesia, so my behaviors are important. Unclean food and water can cause travelers' diarrhea and other diseases, reduce risk by sticking to safe food and water habits. Pregnant women should not take Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate to treat diarrhea. Imodium can be used when necessary, but drinking a lot of fluids is usually the best way to deal with diarrhea.
Task 3: I am planning on taking a cruise ship while visiting Bora Bora. Pregnant woman

As a healthcare practitioners, husband, and father, I think that the CDC had every right the detain Mr. Speaker, to enforce public health law. In the scenario it stated that Mr. Speaker knew of his deadly illness before he boarded the plane to return back to Atlanta. It was the responsible of Mr. Speaker, to inform the crew of his contagious illness so control measures could have been put in place to minimize expose of his illness to other passenger on the airplane. The Center for Disease and Control (CDC) has guidelines in place for the aircrews members to prevent the spread of germs in the respiratory system such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome [MERS] ("Infection control guidelines for cabin crew members on commercial aircraft quarantine
It is very important to get vaccinated and to get checked out to see if you already encountered the disease. It is very important because, it saves you from catching a horrible disease and getting very sick. Also, if it’s a communicable disease you wouldn’t want it to harm others around you.
Please know that the Mumps vaccine is required as part of the MMR vaccine, as well as it is highly encouraged if you will be traveling.
The viruses and bacteria that cause illness and death still exist today and can be passed on to anyone who is not vaccinated. Now, more than ever, we need to be vaccinated because we can travel anywhere in the world in half a day which means diseases can too. It is recommended by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to get vaccinated throughout your life to keep you safe from infections as well as others. When you skip a vaccine, you leave yourself vulnerable to diseases and illnesses such as shingles, pneumococcal disease, influenza, and HPV and hepatitis B, both leading causes of cancer.

In our world, in every ecosystem there are a millions of different types of viruses that exist. In this paper we are going to talk about one specific emerging arbovirus called Chikunganya virus. About thousands of people have been affected by Chikungunya virus throughout the world. During the years of 2005 and 2006, the virus altered over a millions of people in the Africa, Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Now, Chikungunya virus have spread to Europe, South American and North America. Chikungunya is a viral disease that is spread by mosquitoes.

Vaccinations are very safe and effective for most people. Immunizing individuals helps the health of our community, especially those individuals who cannot be immunized. An up-to-date immunization record should be kept on each and everyone who receives vaccinations.
Vaccinations help keep the risk of illness down in many ways. For example, when children attend school, they are required to have certain shots before entering. If every child is vaccinated properly, the rate of sick children will decrease. Many people travel a lot. Research shows that we shouldn’t be vaccinated against diseases that aren’t in our country. However, they are wrong because if people are traveling with their children to another country, they are more than likely to bring a disease back home. If we are already vaccinated prior to the incident, it will help reduce the chances of other children becoming ill. If we can help keep our children safe, we should do so by any means necessary.
The first step I took in my expedition was increasing my understanding of vaccines and how they functioned. Luckily, since my major is microbiology, I have taken some courses that have given me a foundation to understanding vaccines. By simply googling how vaccines work, I found the CDC’s article thoroughly explaining the fundamentals of vaccines. Basically, “Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, does not cause illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes and antibodies.” By infecting yourself with a weakened infection, you essential gave your body a guide on how to defend if the real deal came through. Now this is where the
Throughout the recent transmission of chikungunya, it has affected many countries in Central America and the Caribbean. The ones that are primarily up for discussion include just a few. Some examples of the Central American countries include Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala(CDC). Some examples of the Caribbean countries would include Anguilla, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Haiti, Jamaica, and many more(CDC). Each of these countries share a major thing in common, all of their economies rely a great amount on Tourism and the people visiting their scenic lands(ABS 1-5). That being said, the negative effects that came to these places with chikungunya can be and already are devastating to these populations.
Having the immunity when your child is exposed to the disease is extremely important. Vaccines have come a long way and many diseases have been eradicated due to people choosing to vaccinate.
Some countries are not fortunate enough to get the routine vaccinations for themselves or their children. Also, it will be difficult to determine who’s contracted the disease from abroad so we must protect ourselves and family.
What exactly is a travel vaccination? It's protection from any of the many diseases that are still prevalent in foreign countries via an inoculation. Receiving a vaccination before you travel is very important. The United States may have eradicated many of these worldwide diseases but you can
Vaccines are a must for children, adults, and the elderly. There are many reasons why vaccines are so important. One reason, vaccines will help keep you healthy.
