More About Diseases
Long ago, people did not know why they got sick. They thought bad air made them ill. Now we know more about germs and how they spread. We have shots to help keep us safe.
When we get sick, we may miss school. We need to rest and take care of our bodies. It is good to tell a grown-up if we feel bad.
In the future, we may find new ways to stop diseases. Scientists work hard to help us stay healthy and safe.
