Many press releases include a quote from a local authority e.g. the State Health Commissioner in order to personalize and add interest. A good public health press release would also include what the average citizen should do; a press release is an opportunity for public health officials to send evidence-based public health messages. At least two references using the APA style should be included.

Scenario Two:

A patron with eight co-patrons has introduced a bill to the general assembly. House Bill 413 Immunization of children: The parent, guardian or person standing in loco parentis of each child with this state shall cause such child to be immunized by vaccine against diphtheria tetanus, whooping cough and poliomyelitis before such child attains the age of one year, against Haemophilus influenza type before the attains the age of thirty months, and against measles (rubeola), German measles (rubella) and mumps before such child attains the age of two years.

•          Examine the risks and benefits of the proposed legislation. If this bill is passed, what would be the expected outcomes and would that have a positive or negative impact on the public health. If this bill is not passed, what would be the positive or negative outcomes?

•          Provide discussion as to the projected costs of this legislation if any.

•          What would be the recommendation to the Governor?

•          Should the Governor strongly support the bill and make a statement that he would sign if passed by the legislature?

•          Should the Governor support the bill but express concerns or reservations? If so, what are those concerns? Can the proposed legislation be improved? If so, suggest the amendment/s

•          Should the Governor not support and state that he would veto, if it passed the legislature? Give the reasons why the bill should not be supported and vetoed.
