Imagine that you are a public health informatics specialist and that you and your colleague(s) are concerned about a new strain of pandemics such as COVID-19 or influenza. You will need to figure out which types of data should be used to address this potential concern by doing the following:

 

Think of three types of public health data that could be used to determine the need for mass inoculation, and explain why you selected each type of data for this specific task.

Then, think of two types of data that should be collected to determine the success of said inoculation program and explain why you selected each type of data for this assessment.

 

 

To prepare for this discussion:

 

Your initial answer post should be (min.) 300 - 400 (max.) words long. The post should demonstrate your understanding of specific learning concepts related to this assignment.

 

 

 

Your initial answer post should include a minimum of four (4) current high-quality references, and two (2) of them should be peer-reviewed articles from the GW online library.
