Persuasive Speech Outline
Outline for a speech
I. Introduction
A. Introduce the speakers and build up to the case
B. Capture audience’s attention with a discussion of the benefits of increasing immunisation rates.
(1) Vaccines prevent more than 6 million deaths per year
(2) Vaccines contribute to the extension in life expectancy.
(3) Promotes equity and even world peace.
(4) Complete eradication of infectious agents.
C. Summarise the main idea of the speech. Quickly state three main points
1. First Main Point – Influence of economic factors
2. Second Main Point – Influence of cultural factors
3. Third Main Point – Influence of social factors
4. Fourth Main Point – Influence of familial factors
II. First Main Point:
1. What is Immunisations
a) Receiving of a vaccine and then becoming immune to the disease
(1) Most effective and safest way of giving your child …show more content…
protection against a disease.
(2) Stimulates body to produce antibodies that act to block and destroy the disease.
(3) Enables body’s natural defence mechanism to build resistance and respond quickly when exposed to a disease.
2. National Immunisation Program provides vaccines free of charge
(1) All children are covered in the schedule however your GP may charge a consultation fee. Most doctors bulk bill children’s visits.
III. Second Main Point:
1. Immunisation reduces the spread of disease by protecting individuals as well as the whole community
(1) Increasing the level of immunity within the community protects those people who have not been vaccinated.
(2) People who are too young or because of medical reasons are therefore at risk if the wider community is not vaccinated as they can spread the disease to those people.
IV. Third Main Point:
1. The vaccination sceptics network does not offer any credible evidence or supported information.
(1) It acts more as a source for people who are against immunisation for reasons either based on false information or peoples bad health experiences.
2. Immunisation is one of the leading health successes in the last century being the most effective and eradicative clinical service ever developed.
(1) Particular diseases have been eradicated entirely or are near extinction.
(2) Smallpox is no longer vaccinated against because of its worldwide eradication due to vaccinations against the disease.
V. Fourth Main Point:
1. Children with Cerebral Palsy are just as high at risk of developing infectious diseases from lack of immunisation as any other child.
(1) Health care workers try to ensure that children with disabilities are given the same options of preventative health measures including routine immunisations.
2. There are some common risks factors
(1) All decisions made in life include some amount of risk factors.
(2) Redness, soreness, and swelling around the injection site.
3. It is important to remember that the vaccines have been proven to be safer than the diseases they prevent.
VI. Conclusion
A. Restate three main points
1. First Main Point – Influence of economic factors
2. Second Main Point – Influence of cultural factors
3. Third Main Point – Influence of social factors
4. Fourth Main Point – Influence of familial factors
B. Summary of the ideas that have been presented above.
C. Return to introduction and conclude with a compelling remark
