Infections and Communicable Diseases in Secure Environments (Public Health England)

Immunisation and Infection

Public Health England has published resources on immunisation and infectious diseases. People come into secure settings from the community and return from them to the community therefore advice for community settings is pertinent to people in prison. However, there are particular challenges posed by secure environments and therefore specific resources have been written to track, treat and prevent single infections and outbreaks in prisons, secure settings and health services.
