Pandemics   are large-scale epidemics of infectious disease that can cause major economic, social, and political upheaval while also increasing morbidity and mortality across a huge geographic area. Evidence suggests that pandemics have become more likely over the last century as a result of increased global travel and integration, urbanisation, land use changes, and higher exploitation of the natural environment. Beyond the public health repercussions of regional or global outbreaks of emerging and endemic  infectious diseases , there are sometimes broader socioeconomic consequences that are overlooked in risk and impact assessments. Such events can evoke economic shock waves far beyond the scope of traditional health industries and a pathogen's original geographical range, thanks to swift and broad worldwide travel and trade. While private sector organisations are impacted indirectly by these disease outbreaks, they are under-appreciated but important stakeholders who can pr...

                                    The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) is a three-in-one vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). Measles, mumps, and rubella are extremely deadly infections with potentially fatal consequences. They're easily shared among persons who haven't had their vaccines. What is the mechanism of action of the MMR vaccine? The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is a live vaccination manufactured from weakened versions of each of the three viruses. Your immune system is stimulated by the vaccine to develop cells that respond to and recall the viruses. This implies that if you come into contact with one of the three viruses again, your immune system will recognize  it and take action to prevent illness.   If you've had two doses of the MMR vaccine, you should be protected for the rest of your life and won't need a bo...
