Vaccination Systems (130 Points)

As indicated in your readings, health and development work together. 

  1. Compare and contrast vaccination systems in two developing countries (Saudi Arabia and Kenya) and one more economically developed country (MEDC) (France)

  2. Address how the developing countries can improve their systems, including:

  • current systems,

  • weak components in the current system

  • and elements that can be improved, as seen in MEDC successes.

Your paper should meet the following structural requirements:

  • Be eight pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages

  • Be formatted according to APA and Saudi Electronic University writing standards.

  • Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two must be external.

  • Utilize headings to organize the content in your work.

  • You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading.
