Infectious Disease Prevention & Control

 
 
Preventing, monitoring, and limiting the spread of infectious disease is an important part of the work we do as public health professionals. We provide education, develop and implement plans for prevention and control, conduct investigations to help us understand the history of an outbreak so we can better plan for the future, and work with community partners to respond when an outbreak of infectious disease occurs.

Immunizations/Vaccines

We offer public immunization clinics for children 18 years of age or younger who are eligible for the Minnesota Vaccine for Children (MnVFC) program.  

Children enrolled in a Minnesota Health Care program (Medical Assistance or Minnesota Care) are encouraged to see their primary health care provider for a Child and Teen Checkup (C&TC) exam and immunizations.  

To sign up for our monthly clinics held on the third week of every month you can call our Duluth Office 218-725-5210 or our Virginia Office 218-471-7600

Immunization Records 

  • The Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) is a system that stores electronic immunization records. MIIC makes keeping track of vaccinations easier and helps ensure Minnesotans know which vaccines to get, and when to get them. You can request immunization records for you or your child.  

  • The Docket app is another resource now available to access and store your immunization records. Docket is supported by the Minnesota Department of Health and can be downloaded from the iPhone App Store or Google Play. 

Immunization Statistics 

Immunization rates are estimates of the number of people who have received recommended vaccines. We look at data from two sources, using it to map out the best route for limiting the spread of infectious disease in our communities.  

  • National Immunization Survey (NIS)  

  • Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC)
