Published on in Vaccine Update for Healthcare Providers
The Vaccine Education Center is always trying to find new and unique ways to communicate about vaccines, so we are pleased to announce our newest tool, Just the Vax: Vaccine Trivia.
The trivia game offers players multiple choice questions, such as those above, in four categories:
After choosing a category, players are given 10 multiple choice questions. After each question, players are told if they answered correctly and are provided with a bit of additional information. At the end of the round, players are provided with their scores as well as the average score of all previous players. The game contains more than 250 questions. It can be played on devices ranging from mobile to desktop and can easily be accessed through http://vaccine.chop.edu/trivia.
While we hope you will try the game, we are most interested in helping you employ it as a useful tool in your vaccine program. Here are some ways to use the game and its content:
We look forward to hearing how you like the game and ways you find to use it. We would also like ideas about vaccine trivia that could be adapted into questions. You can email us at vacinfo@email.chop.edu.
