Answer 2

Although it’s impossible to completely avoid airborne pathogens, there are some things you can do to lower your chances of getting sick:

• Avoid close contact with people who have active symptoms of disease.
• Stay home when you’re sick. Don’t let vulnerable people come in close contact with you.
• If you must be around others, wear a face mask to prevent spreading or breathing in germs.
• Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Use a tissue or your elbow to cut down on the possibility of transmitting germs on your hands.
• Wash your hands thoroughly (at least 20 seconds) and often, especially after sneezing or coughing.
• Avoid touching your face or other people with unwashed hands.
• Vaccines can reduce your chances of getting some airborne diseases. Vaccines also lower the risk for others in the community. Airborne diseases that have vaccines include:

• chickenpox, diphtheria, influenza: vaccine updated every year to include strains most likely to spread in the coming season
• measles: usually combined with vaccine for mumps and rubella, and is known as the MMR vaccine
• mumps: MMR vaccine
• TB: not generally recommended in the United States
• whooping cough
• In developing countries, mass immunization campaigns are helping to lower the transmission rates of some of these airborne diseases.
