A. RESEARCH You are going to make a vaccine information chart for you and your family. To prepare,
search for information about vaccines online. Answer the questions and take notes. Use the
websites below or any other reliable source of information:
• www.vaccines.gov
• www.cdc.gov/vaccines
Digital Literacy
Most websites have web pages with tabs at the top that help you find the information you need. When you click
a tab, you see a dropdown menu with a list of topics. For example, if you want to find out where to get vaccinated,
go to www.vaccines.gov, click the tab “Get Vaccinated” and then “Where to Go” on the dropdown menu.
1. What vaccinations does each member of your family need? When do they need to get the
vaccinations? Is there anyone in your family who should avoid getting vaccinated because of a
health condition?
2. Where can you and your family get vaccinated? Who do you call to make an appointment?
3. Are the vaccines free, or do you have to pay for them? If you have to pay, are they covered by your
health insurance? If you don't have health insurance, which programs offer free or low-cost vaccines?
4. How can you prepare for the vaccination appointment? What do you need to take with you?
Are there any questions you should ask the nurse or doctor?
5. What can you expect after the vaccination? Are there any side effects that you should be aware of?
How should you treat them?
