In your entry, using one of the surveillance system cited (Active or Passive), explain how you might incorporate the surveillance data into a particular public health program. In your entry, be sure to include the following critical elements:
1. Identify the type of surveillance (active or passive). Justify your answer; how do you know? Distinguish between each type of surveillance in your answer.
2. Describe the information the system tells you about the pathogen. Examine how this information informs public health policies and programs.
