Question

question 2 of 10
match each mode of transmission with an effective method of blocking it.
? getting vaccinated
direct contact ? washing food
indirect contact animal vector using insect repellent

Explanation:

1. For "Direct contact" transmission (like person - to - person contact for some infectious diseases), getting vaccinated can help the body develop immunity to the pathogen, thus blocking the transmission as the vaccinated person is less likely to get infected and spread the disease.
2. For "Indirect contact" (where the pathogen is transmitted via contaminated objects or food - related contamination in some cases), washing food can remove pathogens that might be on the food surface, preventing infection through indirect contact.
3. For "Animal vector" (transmission via animals like insects), using insect repellent can keep the vectors (insects) away, thus blocking the transmission.

Answer:

• Direct contact: Getting vaccinated
• Indirect contact: Washing food
• Animal vector: Using insect repellent
