Herd immunity and the transmission of disease
Herd immunity and the transmission of disease have a connection to one another. Herd immunity is a group being vaccinated to decreases the spread disease/ infection. Transmission of disease is the way a disease is transmitted; can result in two ways in-direct and direct contact. In exchange for herd immunity you need to find the way a disease or infections is being transmitted.
Herd immunity Herd immunity also known as community immunity is reducing infection or disease in a population that is unvaccinated. Therefore a large group of that population would be immunized. The purpose of immunization the humans in the area are to reduce the risk of transmitting the infection or disease. This can …show more content…
For this outbreak there was a report of approximately ninety-five cases. Measles is a viral infection that affects the respiratory system; transmitted airborne. Our group (herd) is the people who got infected with and the population. We need a vaccination for measles being that it can spread quickly. We need more than half of the citizens in the United Stated to be immune making it less likely to transmit the disease. In order for complete herd immunity the vaccination needs to cover about ninety-five percent of the population. The immune parameter needs to account for the percent of humans who already have the vaccination or have received the vaccination due to the …show more content…
Chickenpox mode of transmission is from person to person due to direct contact with the reservoir. Example of indirect contact mode of transmission is the Escherichia coli (E. coli) outbreak. This outbreak was transmitted by contaminated objects. The chain of infections plays a huge role in the transmission of disease. The etiologic agents are the micro-organism that is able to cause the disease. The reservoir is the host which can be the environment, animals, and humans. Portal of exist is path the disease takes to exist the human or animal reservoir. The mode of transmission could be either being direct or indirect contact. Portal of entry is path the disease takes to enter the human or animal reservoir. Susceptible host is the human or animal is at risk of getting
