Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
m m m m m m m m m m m m
msusceptible individuals by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early detection,
m m m m m m m m m m
screening, and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and
m m m m m m m m m m m
msupportive care and
m m
, attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves
