Answer 2

 My EQ is "What is the most important thing to know in the diagnosis an infectious disease?"

1. Vaccination records produce evidence in which diseases are not infecting the patient, but vaccination can also provide insight in which diseases may be infecting the patient this is a key role in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, and can narrow down the possible diseases.  
    
2. When doing my Independent Component, the main prevention of infectious diseases is vaccination.
      -In a New York Times article, I've seen that parents are not vaccinating their children anymore, and that doctors are urging to stop that trend, since it may make the children sicker in the future when they are older.
      - Vaccination records are used to see if a kid has been vaccinated against certain diseases, so it can rule out diseases when diagnosing an infectious diseases. Since most vaccinations are for infectious diseases, it makes sense that a vaccination record helps in the diagnosis.

3. Pieces of evidence are
  1. Independent Component 1- Disease Spectrum
  2. STEINHAUER, JENNIFER. "Public Health Risk Seen as Parents Reject Vaccines." The New York Times. The New York Times, 21 Mar. 2008. Web. 16 Mar. 2012. <http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/us/21vaccine.html>.'
