Communicable Disease

The Jefferson County Health Department conducts prevention and control of communicable disease through the process of active and passive surveillance, community education and information, and disease case investigation.

From the receipt of a disease case report the Health Dept conducts an investigation to insure the safety and health and well-being of involved individuals. Our responsibility focuses on identifying the source of a communicable disease and all susceptible contacts and provide the most current information and recommendations to prevent its spread.
