Hello Dr. Carlson!

From today’s session my learning is about the vaccines and it’s uses. Immunisation plays an important role in preventing diseases and having immunity. It was great learning about TN/TP and FP/FN. Also how the concept of vaccines came in the world.

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Today, I learned about the importance of health literacy in vaccination settings and how to calculate vaccine effectiveness.

I also learned about the vaccine approval process, the need to estimate the unvaccinated population.

And learned about healthcare systems in Ukraine.

Thank you!

Things Becca Learned

2026-04-03 01:29:46 UTC

I learned that antibiotics are more readily available (OTC) in some other countries, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance.

I learned Bacteria as decomposers and Antibiotics resistance bacteria.
