Examiners report

This was a timely question with Ebola epidemics again causing great problems in parts of Africa. Students were expected to have had some practice at analysing data relating to an epidemic because of this Skill in the programme: Analysis of epidemiological data related to vaccination programmes. It was assumed that candidates would understand terms such as ‘case’, ‘fatal case’, ‘infect’ and ‘treat’.

Nearly all candidates read from the graph the week and year in which the first cases were recorded in the suburbs.
