Funding is insufficient to have staff dedicated solely to investigation of communicable disease reports. Our communicable disease nurse also serves as the immunization coordinator, family planning coordinator, clinic supervisor, and assists with direct client services in the clinic. The other clinic nurse, who serves as back-up investigator, is also the family planning nurse and works half time in the Mental Health Department.
