A zoonosis or zoonotic disease is one that normally exists in animals, but can infect humans. Human illness from a zoonotic disease agent is often accidental. People can become infected through contact with infected livestock, game animals, and pets. Also, some zoonotic diseases are transmitted to humans through tick and mosquito bites.

Immunizations are for people of all ages. From newborns to senior citizens, timely immunizations are one of the most important ways for people to protect themselves and others from serious diseases. Adults need to make certain they have received all of their childhood vaccinations and stay up-to-date with the vaccinations that are recommended for adults. All college students attending school in New York State are required to be immunized against measles, mumps and rubella.
