this can be by staying at home. As fewer healthy people will be in contact with the infected people, so less likely the pathogen will be passed on
3. preventing infection-Vaccination:
This is when they instert a dead or inactive pathogen to your body which causes your body to produce antibodies to attack them . So if a live pathogen of that pathogen does comes you are less likely to kill as there is an antibody spercifically for that pathogen
