What is another word for ring vaccination?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈɪŋ vˌaksɪnˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Ring vaccination, also known as target or encircle vaccination, refers to a strategy of vaccinating people who have been in contact with infected individuals rather than the whole population. This method is primarily used when dealing with contagious diseases that spread quickly, such as Ebola, measles, and smallpox. The goal of ring vaccination is to prevent further spread of the disease by targeting those who are most likely to have contracted it, creating a ring of immunity around the infected person. Other synonyms for ring vaccination include "surround vaccination," "cluster vaccination," "neighborhood vaccination," and "contact tracing vaccination." This strategy has been proven to be effective in containing outbreaks and preventing epidemics.
