3. What is the CDC? CDC stands for "Center of Disease Control"
 Nation's health protection agency, working to protect America from health and safety hazards, both foreign and domestic. 
CDC increases the health security of our nation
Founded July 1, 1946 
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia NB

4. Role in our Lives Work to prevent the outbreak of diseases 24/7
Rapid detection saves lives
US is safer from diseases because they are stopped before they reach US Borders
They promote healthy and safe behaviors in communities
CDC's Obesity efforts focus on strategies to make healthy eating and active living accessible and affordable for everyone
Travelers Health 
Allows someone planning to travel to find the vaccines that they should receive and the main diseases in that area NB

5. Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve in a way that reduces the effectiveness of drugs and chemicals designed to cure and treat infections
What Causes this?
Overuse and misuse of antibiotics
How do bacteria become resistant?
Some bacteria can "Override" an antibiotic by changing it in a way that makes it harmless. Other bacteria can change their outer structure so the antibiotic has no way to attach to the bacteria it is designed to kill. NB

6. What can you do to prevent antibiotic resistance?
Tell your healthcare professional that you are concerned about antibiotic resistance
Never skip doses or stop taking a medication early even 
Never save an antibiotic for the next time you get sick
Never take antibiotics prescribed for someone else
Make sure to get vaccines that could require the use of antibiotics if someone doesn’t get the vaccine
Never pressure your healthcare professional into prescribing you an antibiotic  NB
