A presentation on vaccination and immune system for 6 to 10 year old children by Michelle A. Swanson, Cris Kamperschroer, Ute Osmers, Kathy Cho, Quentin.
Children are the next generation of scientists.
They need to see how science can affect their everyday lives. The key is to catch their attention at a young age and get them excited about science. The 1995 class of graduate students in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Loyola Medical Center have decided to take an active role in teaching grade school children in the Chicago area. We decided to teach them why shots are cool, even though they can hurt. We chose this topic because we know that getting shots at the doctor s office was definitely something to which children can relate.
