Northern Kentucky Health Department
Prevention, Control
and Management of Infectious
Diseases in Child Care
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 Child Care Health Consultation (the program
for local childcare providers), please call
859.363.2090 or e-mail Susan Guthier.
