Only take pills prescribed to you—counterfeit pills in San Francisco have been linked to a fatal overdose involving a potent synthetic opioid. These pills can look real but may contain deadly substances. If someone overdoses, give naloxone and call 911; treatment help is available at 888‑246‑3333.

Protect yourself from overdose: Only ingest pills that have been prescribed to you.

A synthetic opioid more potent than fentanyl was involved in a recent overdose death in San Francisco involving counterfeit pills.

Counterfeit pills look like ordinary prescription medications but can contain potentially lethal substances. You cannot tell what is in them by their appearance.

If you suspect someone is overdosing, administer naloxone and call 911 immediately. If you are ready for treatment for drug addiction, call SFDPH at 888-246-3333.

Your baby deserves the strongest start to life. Vaccines help keep them healthy as they grow.

Vaccines (or “shots”) are safe medicines that help the body fight germs. Babies get sick more easily because their bodies are still learning how to protect themselves.

Some germs can cause serious illness. Vaccines help teach your baby’s body how to stay strong and fight these germs.

It is better to stop sickness before it starts. Learn more about which vaccines your baby needs at https://www.sfhp.org/RoutineVaccines.
