Explanation:

1. Contagious diseases are also called infectious diseases as they are caused by pathogens that can be passed from one person to another.
2. Common contagious diseases include colds, flu, herpes, warts, conjunctivitis (pink - eye), ringworm, scabies, MRSA, chicken - pox, measles, mumps, and rubella. A cosmetologist should avoid servicing clients with these to prevent spread.
3. Contagious diseases can be spread through direct contact (skin - to - skin, sexual contact), indirect contact (touching contaminated surfaces), airborne transmission (inhaling droplets), fecal - oral route (ingesting contaminated food/water), vector - borne (mosquitoes, ticks), blood - borne (sharing needles, transfusions), mother - to - child (during pregnancy, childbirth), coughing, sneezing, sharing personal items (towels, razors), animal bites, and poor hygiene.
4. Bacteria are single - celled organisms that can live independently, while viruses are non - cellular and need a host cell to replicate. Bacteria can be treated with antibiotics in some cases, but antibiotics are ineffective against viruses.
5. Vaccinations work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses. However, there are many viruses for which no vaccines are currently available, so the statement is True.
