week 2

I started to look for information on my assignment 1 topic which is the Immunisation topic. This was challenging as I haven't been the best at researching before. I started with Google scholar and I searched for immunisation rates and got some good information on how the New Zealand Health system started. I then went back to ordinary Google to search for what the New Zealand Public Health act actually said. I found some useful information and then searched for some good information on the immunisation rates in New Zealand. I discovered that Immunisation rates within the children has increased quite drastically over the years, especially within the Maori population, and has always been quite high within the Asian population in New Zealand. I think this is good information to back up my position on my assignment because it shows that even though immunisation rates are increasing, we still need to protect our most vulnerable in our population.
