Are there viruses or infections you know about that are currently being treated with experimental mRNA vaccines in clinical trials or government funded projects?

Wonderful real life connections

Read this and answer the question.

I think its amazing that were able to take what were learning in this formal academic setting and apply to real world and current events. I was able to work on Modernas’ pediatric mRNA COVID -19 vaccine study at the end of last year and had my first up close and personal encounter with clinical research and administering intramuscular (IM) injections. I think its so important to realize the structural components and mechanisms that help differentiate mRNA based vaccines from regular vaccines.

As stated, all Vaccines do help prevent infection by preparing the body to fight and defend against foreign invaders (such as pathogens). To trigger an immune response, many non mRNA vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines, as they use viral mRNA created and deactivated in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. This process more heavily relies on the bodies own natural ability to translate mRNA scripts into complex proteins/antigens.

Live-attenuated or viral-vectored vaccines that we have known and are often familiar with differ, as mRNA vaccines are non-infectious and poses no concern for DNA integration, mainly because it cannot enter the nucleus which contains DNA. Strategies such as protein-based/inactivated vaccines require chemicals and cell cultures to produce, where mRNA is made through a cell-independent process and does not require inactivation; “thus, it poses no safety concerns due to contamination with toxic agents” (Verbeke, 2022). Recent technology has also modified the mRNA to make it more stable/package the molecules into fats (called lipids), increasing cell delivery efficiency! The following advances increase the amount of spike protein produced on your cells, increasing a more effective immune response.

Methods of Increasing Preventative Care Measures

Write a research paper (APA format), The length of the paper is 20-25 pages excluding the cover paper and references. No abstract is required.

Final projects of healthcare management programs often examine an existing problem in the industry and suggest possible solutions based on the data. A lack of access to preventative care affects an entire community and costs healthcare systems an exorbitant amount of money. Emergency departments frequently see heart attacks, strokes, and other catastrophic events that could have been prevented with affordable medication and monitoring. Hospitals often absorb the cost of necessary surgeries and extended hospital stays for these patients without insurance or with minimal coverage. This project evaluates different plans for solving this problem

4-2 Program Critique Assignment

USE “A Health System-Based Critical Care Program With a Novel Tele-ICU: Implementation, Cost, and Structure Details opens in new window

Overview” PDF to complete this program critique.

In this assignment, you will critique a health or healthcare program from the literature. Before you begin working on this assignment, please visit the module Resources section and explore the provided program critique reading resource. Then, analyze the resource requirements of the given program and provide justification for the inclusion or exclusion of resources used in the program. Also, offer suggestions for improving the program’s resource use.

This assignment will help you analyze the flaws, shortfalls, or both in resource planning and understand how to avoid or address them. It will also help you consider the risks and benefits of a program and the positive and negative impacts a program may have on a person (patient or staff member), a group or department, and an organization.

Prompt
Write a program critique analysis that critically examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Resource Requirement: Describe whether the resources required for the given program were justified. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
How does a program’s resource requirement planning influence the overall success of the program?
How did you conclude whether the resource requirements for the given program were justified?

Improvement Areas: Describe two areas of improvement the organization in the given scenario could consider regarding resource requirements. Consider the following question to guide your response:
How will your suggestions help improve the program’s overall success?

Risks and Benefits, Positive and Negative Impacts: Describe the positive and negative impacts of this program and the risks and benefits associated with this program. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
What are two risks associated with implementing this program, and which activity could minimize the identified risks?
What are two negative impacts this program might have, and which activities could help minimize them?

Summary and Recommendations: Summarize your findings from the program analysis, and share your recommendations. Consider the following question to guide your response:
What would you have done differently while planning the resource requirements for this program?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support. If you need writing support, access the Online Writing Center through the Academic Support module of your course.
