Discussion Question 1
The world will never be the same as the coronavirus pandemic has devastated world economies and disrupted life in ways that were unimaginable just over a year ago (Brammer et al., 2020) . COVID-19 has had a detrimental effect on humans as well as the world economy. The following are the key elements that I would include for a vacation post-pandemic:
Vacations are about family. Travel restrictions and nation-wide curfews made it impossible for people to be with their families (Brammer et al., 2020) . Many people are longing to spend time with their families, and this is an element I would like to explore. The visual elements will focus on the effects of geographical separation and estrangement as the essence of family taps into the emotions of the audience.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
I would also use snow to symbolize cleansing and a new beginning that humanity has been granted after the pandemic (Jacobs, 2013) . Snow will be used to transform the landscape, and the rising of the sun will introduce a new beginning, thus making the audience feel all the effects of the pandemic have been washed away. The use of snow will also be used to denote innocence, purity, and light.
Color has an immense ability to act as a storytelling mechanism in visual analysis. The combination of red and green is synonymous with Christmas, and viewers will think of the holiday season (Jacobs, 2013) . The use of colors will help convey the theme of a vacation. Thus, using color will provide a visual analysis that offers joy, hope, love, and the promise of a kinder world. Color is an element that will offer positivity, comfort, and escape that people require to combat the COVID-19 stress and lockdown fatigue.
Other elements that could be incorporated include makeup, special effects, and costumes to enhance the audience's viewing experience (Jacobs, 2013) . Makeup, special effects, and costumes will transport the audience into a place that they could not usually be, such as the clear blue skies and sandy beaches in the Maldives.

Discussion Question 2
In today’s emerging disease environment, the novel coronavirus has brought about the need for vaccinations among children and older adults. COVID-19 is disproportionally affecting older adults globally. It is critical for healthcare providers and the federal government to emphasize the urgent need of children and adults receiving the COVID-19 vaccine to protect them from contracting the virus. Globally, childhood vaccinations have significantly increased. However, despite the overall success of immunization programs worldwide, more than 11 million under-five children continue to die annually (Bazargan et al., 2020) . More than 27 million children do not receive complementary vaccinations, and 2 million people die globally annually due to vaccine-preventable infections (Bazargan et al., 2020) . As a result, vaccination is one of the most effective ways to reduce mortalities. This type of strategy is known as pre-emptive vaccination because it is applied to avert future occurrences of known virulent diseases. The morbidity and mortality rates from communicable diseases can be minimized through targeted vaccinations as vaccines are cost-effective compared to the cost of treatment, eliminate once prevalent infections in adults and children, and reduces the health risks for those who cannot be given the vaccine.
Infectious diseases are a major global concern causing 13 million deaths every year. The use of vaccines can be adopted to minimize or eliminate the spread of new and existing infectious diseases (Shahzamal et al., 2020) . Pre-emptive and reactive vaccination strategies can be targeted at people who are influential disease transmitters for vaccinations to lower the rate at which the transmissible disease is spreading. Vaccination provides the body with immunity so that people do not have to contact the disease or suffer the symptoms (Shahzamal et al., 2020) . Once vaccinated, the human body recognizes foreign substances and builds a defense mechanism against the pathogen to protect the body against future encounters.
