× 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.

Lyme Disease Advisory Committee 

The mission of the Lyme Disease Advisory Committee (LDAC) is to make recommendations to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on strategies to enhance the awareness of the public and the medical community about Lyme disease in California, and thereby reduce exposure to, and suffering from, this and other tick-borne diseases.

The Committee is made up of members representing the California Lyme Disease Association, Lyme disease support network, university researchers, the Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California, the California Medical Association, California Conference of Local Health Officers, and CDPH.  A broad range of views is represented on this Committee, allowing for important exchanges of ideas on Lyme disease education. 
 
The next LDAC meeting will be held in the spring of 2023 — date and time to be announced.
Please contact the CDPH Vector-Borne Disease Section at (916) 552-9730 if you have any questions.
