Infectious diseases: Protection
Protection against infectious diseases
The human body has to deal with a variety of pathogens every day. However, not every contact with a pathogen automatically leads to an illness. Often, the body's immune defenses can cope with the attackers on their own.
Vaccinations offer further effective protection against some infectious diseases.
In addition, simple hygiene measures such as hand washing, hygiene when coughing and sneezing, toilet hygiene, household hygiene, kitchen and food hygiene, etc., can prevent the transmission of germs and thus infection.
