Vaccines are available to prevent many common infectious diseases, including hepatitis, diphtheria, influenza and herpes zoster. The CDC has updated recommendations for vaccinations for children, adolescents and adults. There are new platforms for delivery of vaccinations and research on new pathogens. It is also important to consult with a travel clinic prior to travel overseas to be sure you are protected.

You can also reduce your risk of contracting an infectious disease by:

Washing your hands with soap and water, thoroughly and frequently
Covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough
Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces in your home and workplace
Avoiding contact with sick people or sharing personal items with them
Not drinking or swimming in contaminated water supplies
Not eating or drinking food and beverages prepared by people who are sick

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Some infectious diseases can be spread by touching a surface or object that has been contaminated by an infected person. Regularly cleaning household surfaces that are frequently touched will help reduce the spread of infections. Some examples of frequently used surfaces include tables, bench tops, door handles, light switches, toys and taps.

hope it helps :)
