Mission Statement

To eliminate transmission, illness, and death from viral Hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, and vaccine preventable diseases through prevention programming, disease surveillance, early intervention, access to testing, immunizations and treatment.

Vision Statement

Prevent and reduce the risk of infectious diseases among all Iowans.

The Bureau of Disease Prevention and Immunization works to reduce the impact of communicable diseases in Iowa and to eliminate the morbidity associated with these diseases. Prevention and care services target Chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis b and c, and vaccine preventable diseases. Programs within the bureau guide community-based prevention planning, monitor current infectious disease trends, prevent transmission of infectious diseases, provide immunizations for public health clinics and Vaccine for Children recipients, provide early detection and treatment for infected persons, and ensure access to health care for refugees in Iowa. Staff from the Sexually Transmitted Disease, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, Immunization, Tuberculosis Control, and Refugee Health Programs partner with local public health departments, private health care agencies, regional disease prevention specialists, and community-based organizations to interrupt the disease transmission process and provide access to testing, treatment, immunizations and prevention programs.
