Question
you will be asked to consider 3 viral diseases for which there is currently not a human vaccine. They are as follows, with a link to the CDC website that will provide you with an appropriate background regarding each disease.
1.) Chickungunya: https://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/ (Links to an external site.)
2.) MERS: http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/index.html (Links to an external site.)
3.) Zika: https://www.cdc.gov/zika/ (Links to an external site.)
Your final will be in two parts.
Part 1: As the new director of the CDC, you are empowered to petition congress and the president for funds to develop a vaccination program for any of these viral diseases, but you realize that you will likely only get one. So you will chose the one that you think will make the greatest positive impact on the health and well-being of the citizens of the United States.
section A: Which one do you choose? Justify your choice by comparing the pros and cons for each of the three viruses (i.e. don't just tell me why your choice is the best - also tell me why the others are not as good of a choice.
section B: For the one you chose, you will then fund one major strategy for development (attenuated, inactivated, subunit, or DNA). Which strategy do you choose? Justify your choice by comparing the pros and cons for each of the four strategies as they might pertain to your chosen virus. Be sure you cite the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and why you think overall your choice is the best one
