Tertiary prevention is doing something to keep a problem from getting worse. An example may be: My first day in Jamaica I stayed in the sun only 20 minutes as tertiary prevention of a bad sunburn. Or: The doctor gives you Tetanus shots as when you puncture your skin from a rusty nail as tertiary prevention against infection. Tertiary means a third level or an exacerbated level.
