Which statement best describes a theme of this passage?
A. Vitamins are crucial for a good personality.
OB. Vitamin D is important for strong bones.
OC. Calcium is important to overall health.
OD. Vitamin D is an important mineral.
Vitamin D's best known trait is probably the role it plays in
maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D sends chemical
messages to your intestines to increase the absorption of
calcium, an important nutrient in creating healthy bones. It not
only helps to form and maintain bones by promoting calcium
absorption, it also works with other vitamins, minerals, and
hormones to promote bone mineralization. Without Vitamin D,
bones can become thin, brittle, and deformed. Having enough
Vitamin D in your diet prevents skeletal diseases that weaken
bones. Vitamin D also helps prevent the onset of
osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones. Vitamin D helps
stop osteoporosis if it has already started.

the percentage of who member states incorporating seasonal influenza vaccination into national immunization programs remains low with significant regional variations. high vaccine and service costs, competing health priorities, difficulties in measuring vaccine efficacy and cost–effectiveness, and adverse public opinion regarding vaccination all influence the policy decisions affecting national immunization programs.

effectively communicating the benefit of influenza vaccination is an essential component to increase the vaccine uptake and inclusion into national influenza immunization programmes. firstly, these benefits need to be understood by the key players that promote vaccination at national level (health promotion departments and healthcare workers). health care workers are increasingly important in influencing vaccination choices, and new appro
