Which statement is NOT a part of risk analysis?

• A. Assessment
• B. Management
• C. Communication
• D. Vaccination planning

Answer: (D)

Risk analysis in public health rests on three interconnected activities: risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication. Risk assessment is about identifying potential hazards and evaluating how likely they are and how severe their consequences could be. Risk management uses those assessments to decide which actions to take to reduce risk and how to allocate resources. Risk communication ensures that what’s found and decided is shared clearly with stakeholders and decision-makers to support understanding and trust.

Vaccination planning is an important public health activity, but it isn’t one of the three core components of risk analysis itself. It fits as a practical action or tool within the risk management process or as part of broader program planning, rather than being a standalone element of risk analysis. Therefore, it is not considered part of risk analysis.
