Not necessarily. Human-to-human transmission isn't the primary vector (if even possible) for a lot of diseases we get vaccinated for, e.g. yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, lyme disease, tetanus, shingles, rabies, etc.
- fibbery 8y agoShingles is caused by the chicken pox virus.
- Alex3917 8y agoSure, but the primary transmission vector for chicken pox isn't adults with singles, it's other kids with chicken pox.
- Pharmakon 8y ago...Measels, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, Varicella (i.e. what you need to contract to get shingles). We can both make lists of equal length back and forth, but we also both know that there are plenty of communicable diseases between humans. Would we be having this debate if the outbreaks weren’t measles, but Variola Major? ZEBOV?
