The Kids Boost Immunity (KBI) website is designed as a free resource for teachers of grades 6-10 and has lessons on a wide range of topics such as:
- Germs and infections
- The immune system
- Antibiotics
- The spread of infectious disease & outbreaks
- Global inequality in health and the role of NGOs
- Evaluating online information sources
All of the lessons are linked to the ONTARIO school curriculum. School immunization programs occur in Ontario schools in grades 7-12, making vaccine lessons especially pertinent. The goal of KBI is to raise literacy about topics such as immunization, antibiotics, and global health.
- Social Studies – grade 6
- Geography – grade 8
- Science & Technology – grade 7/8
- Health & PE – grade 7/8
- Science – grade 10
- KBI also incorporates indigenous perspectives in health within various topics and lessons throughout the site.
After completing a lesson, students are directed to take a quiz and students earn vaccines for questions they answer correctly. The more quizzes a student does, the more vaccines they earn for kids in another part of the world through UNICEF.
