"Caring commitment to community health by promoting individual health, preventing disease and disability, and protecting against environmental risk, through education and intervention."
The focus of a public health agency is to prevent rather than treat a disease through surveillance of cases and the promotion of healthy behaviors.

H1N1 Nasal Mist Vaccine — Shortened Shelf Life of Certain Lots
Amador County Public Health received word from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that another H1N1 vaccine is undergoing a limited recall. The effectiveness of some lots of another H1N1 vaccine had decreased below a pre-specified limit or was at risk of falling below that limit in the next week. This recall is limited to a few specific lots and is not safety related. It is for any remaining un-used product of the nasal spray formulation commonly known as FluMist.
“Most importantly, as with the recent recall of the infant formulation, there is no safety issue associated with these lot numbers of the H1N1 vaccine and this dose does not need to be repeated,” confirmed Dr. Bob Hartmann, Amador County Health Officer. For additional information, CLICK HERE
H1N1 Injectable Pediatric Vaccine Lot Number Recall
Amador County Public Health received word from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that certain lot numbers of injectable pediatric H1N1 vaccine, indicated for children 6 months through 35 months, decreased in potency between shipment and current testing.
“Most importantly, there is no safety issue associated with these lot numbers of the H1N1 vaccine and this dose does not need to be repeated,” affirmed Dr. Bob Hartmann, Amador County Health Officer. “This advisory does not apply to any of the nasal mist vaccine.” For additional information, CLICK HERE
