Data on selected reportable diseases are
published at the end of the year in the Florida Annual Morbidity Statistics
Report. These reports contain the official statistics, in tabular and
graphic form, for the reported occurrence of notifiable infections diseases in
Florida. Unless otherwise noted, the data are final totals for the
corresponding year.
The Florida morbidity report is
compiled to:
1. Summarize annual morbidity from notifiable acute communicable and
environmental diseases, and cancer in Florida;
2. Describe patterns of disease as an aid in directing future disease
prevention and control efforts; and,
3. Provide a resource to medical and public health authorities at county,
state and national levels.
