Individual reports of serious communicable diseases like pertussis or mumps allow the JCHD to alert those who may have been exposed to the disease, recommend vaccination and treatment as needed, and provide information to the public.
Schools and Childcare facilities are required by law to submit weekly communicable disease reports, in accordance with the Michigan's Public Health Code 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, section 325.173(9), which requires reporting within 24 hours.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services resource for schools titled "Managing Communicable Diseases in Schools (PDF)"
has additional information about monitoring and reporting of communicable diseases.

If you have any questions about reporting illnesses to the JCHD please contact the Communicable Disease Section at 517-768-1662. Thank you for your contribution to the health of Jackson County.
