Communicable Diseases

Communicable diseases are infectious diseases that pose a threat to public health, including emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, vaccine preventable agents, bacterial toxins, and pandemics. 

Depending on the illness, schools are required to distribute exposure notices, exclude a child from school, and/or call the Sonoma County Public Health Department. 

Copies of exposure notices can be found at the Sonoma County Public Health Department Exposure Notices for Schools and Child Care webpage.
