Reporting Reference Sheet (for use by local health jurisdictions only, please do not distribute)- This document is a reference guide for local health jurisdictions and details what conditions are reportable, how soon reports need to be made to CDEpi, and who at CDEpi is your go-to if you have questions about reporting for that condition.
