The communicable disease program works to prevent and control the spread of communicable diseases among people who work, eat, play and live in Wake County.

We do this by:

• Describing disease trends
• Identifying and controlling the sources of infection
• Educating the public
• Taking measures to prevent disease
• Planning and response for public health emergencies.
