Question 2

An outbreak of German measles has occurred at the middle school. The school nurse has been notifying the parents of the children, along with the staff. The best prevention against contracting the highly contagious disease is:
 
  1. To keep ill children at home.
   2. To let children come to school after 16 days from the last known day of exposure because if there are no signs and symptoms, the child will not become ill.
   3. Receiving the MMR vaccine.
   4. Good hand washing.
