During a class on disease prevention, Professor João explained the importance of vaccination and personal hygiene to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. He told the story of how the invention of basic sanitation and the discovery of vaccines revolutionized public health, drastically reducing the incidence of diseases such as smallpox and polio. Based on this context, what is the main mechanism by which mass vaccination contributes to the prevention of infectious diseases in the context of personal hygiene and public health?
a.
Mass vaccination contributes to the prevention of infectious diseases by establishing herd immunity, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated.
b.
A vacinação protege apenas os indivíduos vacinados, sem impactar a disseminação da doença na comunidade.
c.
A higiene pessoal é mais eficaz do que a vacinação para prevenir doenças infecciosas em larga escala.
d.
O saneamento básico e a vacinação são mecanismos independentes que não contribuem para a prevenção conjunta de doenças.
e.
A vacinação em larga escala é importante apenas para evitar a propagação de doenças sazonais, como a gripe.
