The Seminole County Health Department Epidemiology Program monitors reportable diseases other than tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS. Program staff members also investigate disease outbreaks in order to identify their source, intervene to protect others who may be at risk, and identify ways to prevent additional cases.
Epidemiology staff provides disease control education and consultation for the public, physicians, veterinarians, hospitals, schools, daycares, nursing homes, animal services, and other institutions in the community.
Recent issues of the Epidemiology Program monthly newsletter “Epi-Gazette” can be accessed from the Seminole County Health Department home page. Summaries of reportable disease activity in Seminole County (excluding tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS) for 2008 are available: 2008 Epidemiology Annual Report (pdf)
