Dr. Panaro described direct contacts contacts as being people who may have been sharing eating and drinking utensils or who may have been hit by saliva through being coughed or sneezed on. She also mentioned French kissing. "A lot of saliva is passed to and from with French kissing." People who have had direct contact contact are given the anti-biotic Rifampin Rifampin as a preventative treatment.

We have a vaccine and currently currently there are field trials happening happening in Havana, Cuba, for "B" type vaccines.
