    Purpose
    The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize the student with the most recent
    guidelines and recommendations for vaccine-preventable illnesses in the United
    States.

    Activity Learning Outcomes


    Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

    1. Identify vaccines available in the US market for vaccine-preventable disease


    and describe their features.
    2. Identify contraindications and precautions for the use of vaccines available.
    3. Use recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice
    (ACIP) to identify target groups for receipt of each vaccine.

    Due Date: Sunday of week 3 by 11:59pm MT


    Assignment should be submitted to the assignment drop-box by Sunday 11:59 p.m.
    MST at the end of Week 3.

    This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course
    syllabus. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due.
    Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of
    the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late.
    Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three
    days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.

    In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students


    may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The
    instructor will review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination
    based on the merits of the student's appeal. Consideration of the student's total course
    performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should
    continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while
    the appeal is pending.
