Vaccines have prevented small illnesses such as the flu from reaching individuals in the winter yet also completely eradicated diseases such as small pox form populations all together. Not all countries, however, have the luxury of access to these powerful drugs. Programs at this moment are attempting to get vaccines to the developing world with the problem that they cannot afford to distribute the vaccine in an effective manner (Andrus et al 1105). Models are being developed to determine which countries and even people should receive vaccines based on various criteria. The following articles participate in a conversation that shares many literary techniques such as subtitle, vocabulary, and example usage. With these common rhetorical devices,

In the article Evidence-based decision making for vaccines: The need for an ethical foundation, headings like “3.2 EBDM’s ethical grounding,” (Field & Caplan 1010) adds a formal tone to the paper while also giving the reader a heads-up that the following paragraphs will give an overview on the ethics behind the evidence-based decision making process. The second article, Challenges to Building Capacity for Evidence-Based New Vaccine Policy in Developing Countries, the headings are more creative and less formal. For example, the paragraphs that speak about new vaccines and how it is very difficult to get them to developing countries are titled “New Vaccines, New Challenges” (Andrus et al 1104). The last article, Strengthening the technical capacity at country-level to make informed policy decisions on new vaccine introduction: Lessons learned by PAHO’s ProVac Initiative, uses headings in a very similar way to the first in that they are very formal and briefly summarize the topic about to be covered. In all the articles there are clear introduction, conclusion and acknowledgement paragraphs which follows the typical scientific paper …show more content…
One instance of this is in the third article when the author explains the importance of implementing an evidenced-based decision model soon but instead uses a much more complicated and wordier statement, “a rapid timeline necessitated by the schedules of ministries participating in the analyses and national decision makers’ needs” (Jauregui et al 1105). The second article however is much easier to understand due to its less formal format and word choice. All ideas are clearly stated in this article in a more creative way than the other two articles that keeps the reader engaged in the topic being discussed. In the topic sentence the author describes vaccines as the “‘best buys’ in public health,” which is easily understood by those who do not study the sciences unlike the other two articles that tend to use more vocabulary that is more isolated to the specific discourse (Andrus et al 1104). Acronyms are also heavily used throughout these articles, specifically the third one. It is not easy to keep all the acronyms straight so one would need to memorize them. By the use of such vocabulary in all pieces, it can be concluded that the knowledge and usage of complex terminology must be a crucial trait of one who studies in this field of
