Coming in 2012.....New Educational Resources!
New educational resources are going to be available in
2012.
-
New updated influenza brochures for parents, pregnant
women and people with chronic illnesses will be available to order free of
charge, along with other influenza brochures and posters, at
www.ndflu.com/Education/Influenza/FluOrder.aspx.
-
New tick cards also are available to order free of
charge at
www.ndhealth.gov/disease/Tickborne/Education/default.htm, along with
tick brochures and bookmarks. The tick card offers information about tick
identification, tips for avoiding ticks and how to properly remove a tick,
all in a convenient size that you can carry in a wallet for a quick
reference.
-
New rabies educational resources also have been
developed. Magnets and door hangers will be used to provide information on
rabies prevention for both domestic and wild animals. These materials can be
used to hand out during presentations, provide information to people who
were involved in a rabies exposure situation, and to address hard-to-reach
populations on the importance of vaccinating pets and avoiding contact with
wild animals.
Two new manuals also have been developed by the division
and will be made available in 2012.
-
The Child Care/School Infection Control Manual will be
distributed to schools and child care centers. This manual provides
exclusion recommendations for diseases, prevention and control of diseases
and food safety.
-
The Foodborne Outbreak Investigation Manual will be
distributed to epidemiologists, environmental health practitioners and
laboratorians in North Dakota. This manual will provide information on the
roles and responsibilities of those involved in foodborne outbreak
investigations, as well as provide essential activities, objectives and
tools for the epidemiologic, environmental and laboratory investigations
during an outbreak.
