Our Vector Control program is ceasing mosquito collections for the 2026 season. Falling mosquito numbers, cooling temperatures and lack of potential mosquito-borne transmission led to the decision. Our team will continue taking complaints for mosquitoes year-round through our online form or by phone.

Fall Break plans? Make room for flu protection, too. Between work, school, weekend plans and everything in between, flu season can be an unwelcome interruption. One way to help protect yourself and those around you? A seasonal flu vaccine.

It’s not too late to get vaccinated this season! Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Make protecting your health part of your fall routine.

Led by the Tulsa Health Department, more than 65+ community partners created the 2023-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Tulsa County. The CHIP is divided into three specific action plans to address the top three health concerns in Tulsa County: stress and mental health; chronic disease risk factors and management; and healthy and affordable housing.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, housing advocate, community organizer, or engaged resident, your voice and expertise are essential in creating a healthier future for Tulsa County. Make plans to attend their upcoming quarterly meeting on Tues, October 21 at 9:00 a.m. at Tulsa Health Department North Regional Health and Wellness Center where community partners can come together to address these data-identified health priorities, get involved and take action!

In partnership with Oklahoma Public Health Association (OPHA), attendees can earn 2 Continuing Education (CE) credits at this quarterly meeting.

Why is back sleeping best for baby’s sleep? 💤

Research has shown that babies who sleep on their backs have a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides.

Back sleeping helps keep baby’s airway more open and reduces the chance of rebreathing exhaled air.

For every nap and every bedtime, remember: Back to sleep, every sleep.

Cooler weather means fewer mosquitoes, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re gone. As temperatures drop, mosquitoes become less active. Some species survive the winter as eggs, while others shelter in protected places or survive as adults until warmer weather returns.

Enjoy the cooler weather, and still remember to dump standing water around your home to help prevent mosquito breeding!

Flu season is getting underway in Tulsa County, and we’ll be tracking what’s happening throughout the season.

Each Thursday, we’ll share an update from our flu dashboard so you can see the latest information about flu activity in our community and follow how the season develops.

As we head into the cooler months, now is a good time to take steps to protect yourself and others. Stay up to date on recommended vaccinations, wash your hands often and stay home when you’re sick.

John Green was in Tulsa last night, talking about his new novel Hollywood, Ending but one of the ideas he’s shared through his work on tuberculosis continues to resonate far beyond a single disease:

We have the tools to make people healthier. The challenge is making sure everyone has access to them.

In Everything Is Tuberculosis, Green explores how a disease that is preventable and treatable continues to take lives. And it's not because of the disease itself, but because of the systems that shape who has access to care, resources, healthy living conditions and opportunity.

As a public health department, we see every day that health is about more than what happens in a doctor’s office. It is shaped by where we live, learn, work and grow and by whether people have a fair opportunity to be healthy.

One of the most powerful ideas Green shared is that progress is possible. We have made extraordinary advances in human health when we collectively decide that people’s lives matter and invest in making those advances accessible. But progress that leaves people behind is not enough.

His visit to Tulsa was a good reminder that public health is ultimately about people and about making sure the resources, knowledge and opportunities that can improve health reach the people who need them most. That work continues here in Tulsa County, every day.
