The Chain of Infection: How to Stop an Outbreak (Ch 9, Pt 2)

Chapter 9, Part 2 of Introduction to Public Health. The single most important idea in infectious disease control: the chain of infection, and how breaking one link stops an outbreak.

In about 8 minutes you will learn:
- The six links in the chain of infection
- How public health attacks each link: clean water, vaccines, quarantine
- Surveillance, quarantine, and contact tracing explained
- How SARS was beaten with no drug and no vaccine
- 2022 update: wastewater surveillance catching silent polio

This is Part 2 of four. Part 1 covers the pathogens, Part 3 the great eradication victories, Part 4 why 'conquest' was the wrong word.

Who this is for: MPH students, future epidemiologists, and anyone reviewing for CPH and MPH coursework.
