1.All the normal functions of the body get disturbed in case illness. So, anourishing food is required, which is easily digestible and contains all the nutrients. This is the main reason thatbland and nourishing food is advised to take during sickness.

2.Infectious diseases can spread in a8 variety of ways: through the air, from direct or indirect contact with another person, soiled objects, skin or mucous membrane, saliva, urine, blood and body secretions, through sexual contact, and through contaminated food and water.

4.Immunisation describes the process whereby people are protected against illness caused by infection with micro-organisms (formally called pathogens). The term vaccine refers to the material used for immunisation, while vaccination refers to the act of giving a vaccine to a person.

5.The following immunisation programme is available at the nearest health centre in our locality (i)Immunisation for infants—DPT, BCG, polio, measles and MMR. (ii) For children—Typhoid, TT, DT, small pox and TAB.

The diseases like typhoid, polio, measles, tetanus are the major health problems in our locality. To preventthese diseases, our government have initiated expanded immunisation programme all over the country.

Answer:

All the normal functions of the body get disturbed in case illness. So, a nourishing food is required, which is easily digestible and contains all the nutrients. This is the main reason that bland and nourishing food is advised to take during sickness.
Infectious disease can spread in several ways. They are as follows:
1. Through Air: The infected particles spread by means of sneeze or cough of the infected person which releases little droplets containing the microbes. These droplets when inhaled by another person, he/she may get infected by the disease. Eg: Common cold, Pneumonia.
2. Through water: The excreta or vomiting of a person suffering from the infectious disease may get mixed with the drinking water supply, resulting in spread of the disease. Eg: CholeraThrough vectors: Mosquitoes and the insects serve as vectors for the transmission of different disease. Eg: Malaria

Disinfect the 'hot zones' in your residence. Don't share personal items etc
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.
The following immunisation programme is available at the nearest health centre in our locality (i) Immunisation for infants—DPT, BCG, polio, measles and MMR. (ii) For children—Typhoid, TT, DT, small pox and TAB. (iii) For pregnant woman— TT and hepatitis-B. The diseases like typhoid, polio, measles, tetanus are the major health problems in our locality. To prevent these diseases, our government have initiated expanded immunisation programme all over the country.
