Online tools help North Dakotans find immunization providers and see respiratory illness data

Friday, November 1, 2024 - 09:45 am

The new Immunization Locator tool can be used to find out where different immunizations are available. North Dakotans can select one or multiple immunizations and look at a specific area in the state to find both immunization providers and immunizations available near them.

North Dakotans can also keep up to date on the impact of respiratory illnesses in the state. The new Respiratory Illness Dashboard combines data for flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19 in North Dakota. Data includes current case numbers, total season case numbers, hospitalizations and case numbers by county, age and gender.

With the help of these new tools, HHS aims to empower North Dakotans to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. This initiative supports a key HHS strategic priority to support the advancement of strong, stable, healthy families and communities.

Individuals are encouraged to talk to a trusted health care provider about which immunizations are right for them. More information and immunization schedules can be found at hhs.nd.gov/immunizations.
