This document discusses communicable diseases and how they spread. It defines an epidemic as a disease that spreads to a large number of people at the same time, which can be difficult to control and lead to deaths. Examples are given of diseases spread through air, water, contact, and vectors. Vaccines are described as helping prevent diseases by exposing the body to a small dose of germs to develop antibodies and immunity. Diseases like smallpox, chickenpox, and polio can be prevented through vaccination. Ways to prevent water-borne diseases include keeping water sources clean and drinking water covered or filtered. Smallpox was eradicated globally by vaccinating individuals repeatedly over many years.

LP 4 - Preventing Communicable Diseases
Analysis -
HOTS - How does a vaccine help to prevent diseases? Which
diseases can be prevented by vaccination? Ans. A vaccine is a small dose of germs that cause the disease. 1. The vaccine is injected in the body 2. The body makes antibodies to fight against the disease 3. This makes our body immune to the disease Diseases like smallpox, chickenpox, polio, etc. can be prevented by vaccination. Application - WS S4 done in class PQ6 - Same as HOTS PQ7 - List some ways by which we can prevent diseases that are transmitted through water? Ans. WAYS TO PREVENT TRANSMISSION OF WATER-BORNE DISEASES : 1. Keep water sources clean 2. Keep drinking water covered 3. Use filtered water PQ8 - Smallpox is a disease that has been eradicated by vaccination globally. How do you think this happened? Ans.
