Practice Task 2.
Here is a reading passage about Immunization which is taken from the official website of
the World Health Organization. Read and analyze them carefully. You will use the 8 statements/passage
in the follow-up questions.
Immunization
(1) Immunization is one of modern medicine’s greatest success stories. Time and again, the international
community has endorsed the value of vaccines and immunization to prevent and control a large number
of infectious and, increasingly, cancers and other chronic diseases.
(2) Expanding access to immunization is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Not only do vaccinations prevent sickness and death associated with infectious diseases such as
diarrhea, measles, pneumonia, polio and whooping cough, they also hold up broader gains in education
and economic development.
(3) Immunization currently prevents 4-5 million deaths every year. Immunization could prevent deaths
every year in all age groups from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), influenza
and measles. It is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. An additional
1.5 million deaths could be avoided, however, if global vaccination coverage improves.
