× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

CDPH IDB Guidance for California Local Health Jurisdictions

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Infectious Diseases Branch (IDB) has developed guidance to assist local health jurisdictions in the investigation, management, and reporting of select communicable diseases in California. In general, this information refers to individual cases of select reportable conditions followed by IDB. This guidance does not include communicable diseases followed by other CDPH programs, such as sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, or vaccine-preventable diseases. Additional chapters for other IDB diseases and supplemental forms will be added as they are completed.
