The Communicable Disease Control & Prevention Section, part of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, works closely with community members, clinicians, and city, state, and private organizations to protect the health of San Franciscans and our visitors. To control and prevent the spread of disease we support community immunization programs, clinician education and training, and emergency and bioterrorism preparedness. We monitor communicable disease outbreaks, alert clinicians to public health threats, investigate cases, and address routes of infection.
