The mission of the Tuberculosis (TB) Program is to control, prevent, and eventually eliminate TB from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The program aims to detect every case of TB in Virginia, assure that every case is adequately and completely treated, and prevent transmission of TB in communities.
2022 Local Data Now Available
Case counts and rates are updated annually in late March for the previous year. Please use these data to assist you in completing facility assessments.

If using this data for a facility assessment, considering using health district level data if you are located in a small city or county.
