In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assess the learning objectives for this module. Then, you must respond to 1 of your classmates' posts. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.
Your first post is due by the assigned date. Your response to another student is due by assigned due date.
Your response should be at least 3-4 sentences long. You must respond to at least one other student's post. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
Discussion:
1. Looking at our recent pandemic, what was the difference in the vaccine for Covid 19 and the other types of vaccinations?
2. Why was it necessary to take a booster shot for Covid 19?
3. With the bacteria topic, how does a bacteria develop antibiotic resistance?
4. With the current treatment for antibiotic resistant organisms, will there be a need to develop more types of treatments?
Each question is worth 5 points . The grade will be posted at least 48 hours after the date due.
