CDC Science Ambassador Workshop 2015 Lesson Plan: Seasonal Flu Costs How Much?!
2015
This lesson plan from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was curated to teach high school students, grades 9-10, to explore decision-making about the seasonal influenza (flu) vaccination. The lesson looks at financial decisions around vaccinations, based on a case study exploring the experiences of 282 children from cities around the United States. It looks at a wide range of factors including treatment for children with the flu and the cost of parents taking time off as their children recover. The lesson presents a vaccination scenario and allows students to explore multiple options of how to approach the scenario. Students make an informed decision based on their mathematical calculations of direct and indirect costs.
