Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain vaccination and how immunisation programmes work, relay schedules, safety monitoring and recommendations from health authorities, present debates and hesitancy research with attribution, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.

The administration of a vaccine to stimulate immunity against an infectious disease, given by injection, mouth or nasal spray according to schedules for infants, children, adults, travellers and animals; one of the most effective public health measures, regulated through vaccine licensing, national immunisation programmes and safety monitoring.

What it is for: Preventing infectious disease in individuals and populations.

It can be explain how vaccination produces immunity; relay schedules and recommendations from authorities; relay safety monitoring and evidence; route personal questions to clinicians.

Distinguishing features

Active immunisation by a vaccine

Individual and population protection

Scheduled by age and risk

Regulated and monitored

What it looks like

Not a physical object; an injection, oral dose or nasal spray given in a clinic or campaign.

Physical character

deaths prevented: millions per year - WHO estimates

How it is recognised

Administration of a vaccine

Part of a schedule or campaign

The vaccine as a product and the disease are separate entries

What the second pass must settle

  • Should each vaccine be a separate entry?
  • How should national schedules be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming programmes and policies; should they be split off?
