The communicable disease causes the State substantial funds. Hudson County has taken the initiative to put measures to counter any outbreak of communicable disease. Foodborne illness was reported in New Jersey City. This was a result of consumption of contaminated beverage or food. NJDOH (The New Jersey Department of HealthNJDOH) received reports on the outbreak of the disease.
CDC have noted that about 76 million of American get sick, 300000 hospitalized and about 5000 succumb to the disease every year. The nationwide trends show the prevalence of the communicable disease within the city as compared with other cities. Research should be conducted to establish the reason behind the prevalence of the disease. The nationwide trends tend to go in line with the local information on its spread (Allender, Rector & Warner, 2010). New Jersey experienced a measles case. The doctors recommended that vaccination could only be done when the child is at least 15 months old (http://www.nj.gov/health/cd/measles/). The transmission of the disease pointed out their similarity in transmission. It is due to infection, which leads to the growth of pathogens.
The common communicable diseases include measles, mumps, tetanus, TB and meningitis among others. The disease can be prevented through vaccines. According to the WHO, the disease can be prevented from spreading and infecting others by conduction vaccination programs to the prone cohort promptly. The public health nurses can ensure that the communicable are reduced, for example, providing proper sanitation (Health Map, n.d.). Further, the affected groups are given a diagnosis and the unaffected population with the identified age is vaccinated immediately. The intervention is critical, and it may require the health nurses to issue quarantine until the situation is controlled. Further, routine immunization should be conducted to curb the infectious disease from causing more deaths.
