Protection against infectious diseases

The human body has to deal with a large number of pathogens every day. However, not every contact with a pathogen automatically leads to illness. The body's own immune system can often deal with the attackers on its own.

Vaccinations offer further effective protection against some infectious diseases.

In addition, simple hygiene measures such as hand washing, hygiene when coughing and sneezing, toilet hygiene, household hygiene, kitchen and food hygiene, etc. can prevent the transmission of germs and thus infection.
