Is colourblindness an infectious disease like the common cold or influenza?

Leggett

Colour blindness is inherited. Red-green colour blindness is a recessive trait. It is sex-linked, that is, the allele of the gene is present on the X chromosome but not on the Y (male).A male (XY) inheriting this recessive allele will be red-green colour blind. It is less common in females (XX) because there is a much greater chance that this recessive allele will be masked by the dominanant allele for normal sight.



Ranburne

of course not, not at all. colour blindness is natural born disease, perhaps it`s something wrong at the eye, not because of virus that causes common cold or influenza



Ayer

It is a genetic & gender-associated with men more than women, but not contageous...

My answer is influenced by my two professional degrees and more than forty years of clinical practice, but I absolutely believe that vaccination is mandatory to prevent deadly epidemics. I'm old enough to remember some of the most dreadful epidemics of the 20th Century. We don't need any more of those!



Bellerive

No it should not. While there is a good chance it will stop the spreading, distributing a vaccine does not guarantee the disease will not spread, and in some cases the vaccine makes the disease worse. It's best left up to the people to decide if it's worth it to them.



Meadowlands

It depends which disease you are taking about. A vaccination can help prevent you from getting the virus, but there could be multiple strains of the virus. Even if you have a vaccination there is a chance you could contract something, so I would say no.
