Through prevention, surveillance, and outbreak control, HHSA Public Health Immunization Services provides a mechanism to reduce, prevent, and if possible, eliminate illness, disability, and death due to vaccine-preventable diseases. The program provides information and education to healthcare providers, school staff, childcare centers, and the public through materials, presentations, public service announcements, and outreach. The program identifies, provides, and monitors immunization services provided to the public. The program develops and implements an annual influenza strategy for utilization of State-supplied influenza vaccine, including distribution to not-for-profit healthcare centers throughout the County.
