Which practice is NOT considered a Disease Prevention Practice?

Vaccination programs are a typical component of public health initiatives aimed at preventing disease by protecting individuals and communities from infectious diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, thus preventing outbreaks and reducing the incidence of diseases.

In the context of disease prevention practices, the other options—work practice controls, engineering controls, and standard precautions—are strategies focused primarily on minimizing the risk of exposure to hazards in various environments, especially in healthcare settings. Work practice controls involve modifying procedures to reduce the likelihood of exposure, while engineering controls relate to physical modifications to the environment that eliminate or reduce hazards. Standard precautions encompass various infection control practices designed to protect both healthcare workers and patients.

Although vaccination plays a significant role in disease prevention, it does not fit into the category of practices that control exposure in the same way that the other options do, which makes it distinct in this context.
