Infectious Disease and STI Clinic

Helpful links

This clinic tests, treats, tracks, and reports infectious diseases. This includes sexually-transmitted infections, influenza, rabies, and tuberculosis. The Communicable Disease Program at Granville Vance Public Health primarily deals with infectious diseases that are reportable by law to the state health department, as well as a few other communicable diseases of public health significance, such as influenza, norovirus infection and certain healthcare-associated infections.

We prevent the spread of disease by investigating cases and outbreaks, promoting vaccination, and planning for infectious disease emergencies.

To report a communicable disease or for urgent epidemiological questions outside normal business hours, please call the Epidemiologist On-Call at 919-733-3419. This line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for communicable disease reporting and other urgent public health concerns.
