ClosureAsk students to reflect on these questions: Are some reasons for wantingto opt out <strong>of</strong> vaccination more acceptable than others? For example,is refusing a vaccination because <strong>of</strong> fears about health risks as acceptable—oras unacceptable—as refusing because <strong>of</strong> fears <strong>of</strong> needles?Note that students looked at some <strong>of</strong> the relevant facts during Day 1’sactivities. Share with students that Day 2 will explore who might be affectedby vaccine policies and introduce an important scientific concept related toethical considerations.Wrap up the discussion by telling students that this has been a good start atairing the issues and that there will be a chance to think about these issuesin more depth. Let them know that whether or not they end up holding thesame views later in this module, they will probably have more reasons fortheir position.12Extension (Optional)See Teacher Support MaterialsAdditional vaccine information and questions for furtherreflection are available online at http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/bioethics/teacher.
