Communicable disease data

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

This category includes diseases that are usually transmitted through person-to-person contact or shared use of contaminated instruments/materials. Many of these diseases can be prevented through the use of protective measures, such as a high level of vaccine coverage of vulnerable populations. This is a category recommended for collection in the Community Health Profile. For data indicators, see: http://mapp.naccho.org/chsa/ ChsaIndicatorListing2.asp. See also infectious disease.
