Answer:

The answer for this question would be option B. The goal of vaccinations is to reduce the number of certain cases of a particular disease. Given that 79% of the children born in the Western Pacific region received a dose of hepatitis B vaccine, and only 11% in one African region, this would mean that the Western Pacific region will have fewer cases of hepatitis B than the African region.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the answers are:

A.

The Western Pacific region will have more cases of hepatitis B than the African region.

B.

The Western Pacific region will have fewer cases of hepatitis B than the African region.

C.

The Western Pacific and African regions will have same number of cases of hepatitis B.

D.

Nearly 90% of people will be immune to hepatitis B in both regions.
