Historical Event Outline

My role in the survival plan is to do the Medical work.

My new skill is to get a blood sample from one of the zombies so I can find the
bacterium that is making them a zombie and make a vaccine in order to prevent more
people from being infected.
Research
This is similar to flu vaccines, flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the
body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against
infections with the viruses that are in the vaccine (Flu Vaccination pg.1).
Vaccines work by releasing a small amount of the virus into your immune system.
If your body is exposed enough to the bacteria, immune cells called lymphocytes
respond by producing antibodies, which is a blood protein produced to and counteract a
specific antigen, this is why you can not get the same kind of flu more than once.
(Stephanie Pappas).
The first vaccine was invented by Edward Jenner in July 1796 for smallpox,
although vaccines were not perfected until researchers Jonas Salk and Thomas Francis
developed a vaccine against flu viruses. (Charles Patrick Davis)
