Explanation / Answer

Ans 1...Individual perspective is how the individual child got infection.what can be the symptoms and consequences of the disease .We should also consider it's treatment

When we talk about population perspective we mainly consider how the disease spread in the population and what can be the total impact of the disease like the rate of mortality and mordity.and we should also consider the mass management of the disease

Ans 2..Vaccination is a secondry prevention.

Other level of prevention are

Primary prevention

Secondary prevention

Tertiary prevention

Primary prevention is we prevent the emergence of risk factors that causes the disease

Secondry prevention we tackle the causative agent of the disease like here we r doing vaccination

Tertiary prevention the infection has occurred and we try to prevent the progression of the disease

Ans 3..Incidence is number of new cases which is 10(20 Minus 10) from 2005 to 2010

Prevenlence is total number of cases that is 20 in 2010.

This situation is endemic where there is increase in number of cases of disease to a very large amount in a specific area

Ans 4...Lack of vaccination for measles

Travlers may bring the disease with them

Low socioeconomic status

Overcrowded families

These may be the possible risk factor
