Having difficulty finding the health statistics or data that you need? Do you want to know where to look for the answers for the following questions?
? How many people in Alameda County have been immunized with the flu shot?
? How do I find health status reports for California counties?
? How can I get raw data from a national survey that describes nutritional and behavioral factors associated with mortality?
? How can I map all the WIC vendors in a specific county?
