Welcome to your 'Immunisation | Vaccinations' page
to support you with your assessment task 3.2 Biological Issue.
Here you will find a collection of resources for you to use in your research.
You will need to use a variety of resources to complete this assessment task. This includes both print resources (printed books, journals, articles) and digital resources (web searches, databases, online encyclopaedias). Print resources have already had their credentials checked when they go through the editing process so the information is all ready to be used. This makes them a useful tool in the search for information as you can use these resources without wondering if the information is actually correct!
CHSLibrary staff have curated (brought together) some print resources for you which are held at the Library Desk for you to use. Your teacher may borrow these on behalf of the class or send you over to use them. Please ask if you are unsure where these books are located - Library Staff are here to help. :) Click here for the Library CATALOGUE and type "Immunisation in NZ" into the search box for a list of titles.

Websites:
As well as using sites and web search tools mentioned below, start by thinking about what you already know and think about some keywords you could use to search for more information. Wikipedia is good for getting an idea of what your subject is about BUT you will need to use other sites and books for your actual research. Wikipedia does not pass the CRAP test.
