Settings
The information below was compiled by the
Health Department's Epidemiology Services in December of 2005. It was part of a
binder issued to childcare centers throughout Northern Kentucky. Thus, a lot of
the information is targeted towards the childcare provider, but much of
it--particularly the Disease Fact Sheets--can
be useful to the general public. For more information on communicable diseases
or Healthy Start in Childcare (the program
for local childcare providers), please call
859.363.2090 or e-mail Susan Guthier.
