AB 1279: Valley fever.

Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to establish a list of reportable communicable and noncommunicable diseases and conditions and specify the timeliness requirements related to the reporting of each disease and condition. Existing law also supports research into the development of a vaccine to protect against valley fever (coccidioidomycosis).

This bill would require the department to develop outreach programs to educate the public about valley fever.
