Disease Reporting
The SCPH Outbreak Reporting page includes instructions for reporting disease cases and outbreaks. Please use this module in lieu of previous reporting mechanisms.
Fentanyl and Other Opioids
Increased availability and misuse of opioids, including fentanyl, are of growing concern. Sacramento County Public Health encourages schools to develop and implement naloxone policies to have the overdose reversal drug available for use in an emergency. Visit the Sacramento County Opioid Coalition and Sacramento County Substance Use, Prevention, and Treatment Services for additional information and resources.
Immunizations
Timely immunizations help protect children before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Our Immunization Assistance Program has resources for parents and schools on their program webpage.
Measles
Measles cases have increased in Sacramento County. SCPH provides Measles Guidance for Schools and tools, including a line list template and notification letter template.
Oral Health
Our Oral Health Program has resources for school partners and information on the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment.
Sexual Health
Our Sexual Health Promotion Unit has sexual health resources for youth and operates the Sexual Health Clinic at 4600 Broadway.
