Today is WORLD TB DAY!

World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is observed each year to increase awareness of the serious health, social, and economic impacts of TB.

Tuberculosis (TB) is spread through the air from one person to another. Individuals with active TB disease are at a higher risk of spreading the infection to close contacts such as family members, friends, coworkers, or classmates. Despite advancements in public health, TB continues to be a public health concern in the United States and Nevada, with its numbers rising each year. In Nevada, the number of TB cases has hit a ten-year high, jumping up by 40% from 2022 to 2023!

Let's work together to raise awareness, take action, and put an end to TB once and for all!
