(Vaccination)

(Vaccination)

Impfung

the process or an act of introducing a vaccine into the body as a precaution against contracting a disease

What is "vaccination"?

Vaccination refers to the process of giving a vaccine to help the immune system develop protection against specific diseases. Vaccines typically contain a small, harmless piece of the virus or bacteria that causes the disease, which stimulates the immune system to recognize and fight the actual germs if it enters the body in the future. Vaccination is an important tool in preventing infectious diseases, reducing the spread of illnesses, and protecting public health. It can be given through injections, nasal sprays, or oral doses, depending on the vaccine.

What is a "parking ticket"?

A parking ticket is a notice given to a driver when their vehicle is parked in a place where it is not allowed. This could happen if the car is parked in a no-parking zone, in front of a fire hydrant, or for too long in a spot with time limits. A parking ticket usually comes with a fine that the driver must pay. In some cases, failing to pay the ticket can lead to additional fines or the car being towed.

What is "closed-circuit television"?

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is a system of video cameras used to monitor and record specific areas for security and surveillance purposes. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV transmits video signals to a limited set of monitors, usually within the same building or network, allowing only authorized viewers to see the footage. CCTV is commonly used in places like businesses, public spaces, and homes to deter crime, monitor activities, and enhance safety by providing real-time observation and recording of events.

Phishing

a cybercrime in which someone tricks another into revealing their personal or financial information such as their passwords or bank account numbers and then using this information to steal money from them

What is "phishing"?

Phishing is a type of online scam where attackers attempt to trick people into giving away sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal details. This is often done by sending fake emails, messages, or websites that appear to be from trusted sources, such as banks or online services. The goal is to deceive the recipient into clicking a link or entering their information, which can then be used for fraud or identity theft. Phishing can be harmful if not recognized, as it can lead to financial loss or security breaches.
