Communicable Disease Control Program
We monitor communicable diseases, investigate outbreaks, and distribute vaccines across the region.
Laboratory confirmed or clinical/probable cases of pertussis are assessed and their high risk contacts (infants < 1, pregnant women in the 3rd trimester, all household/daycare contacts IF there is an infant <1 or pregnant woman in the 3rd trimester) offered chemoprophylaxis as soon as possible. Every lab confirmed or clinical/probable case of pertussis requires review with an MHO.
