The Texas Department of State Health Services Infectious Disease

Branch publishes the EpiLink Online Bulletin, which aims to provide

public health and healthcare professionals accurate, practical, and

updated information about important public health issues in Texas.

The publication focuses on a different health topic each month and

the December issue will be dedicated to border health topics. We are

reports on health programs/initiatives, case and outbreak

investigations, disease reports, historical articles, guest

editorials, legislative summaries, etc. Other formats and

publication types are also welcome, including resource guides and
