Writing a review of vaccine strategies
We all get vaccinated before enrolling in school or traveling or starting jobs in the healthcare field. These vaccinations are for Measles virus, Tetanus bacteria, Influenza virus, Hepatitis B virus, etc. More recent vaccines against Ebola virus and SARS-Cov-2 use different delivery strategies to prepare the immune system. The student can maybe write a review of either the different types of vaccines from a historical perspective, or the vaccine strategies used in the vaccines listed on their school's (or my school's) immunization form.
