help me find the cdc's numbers of diseases and death rates page!

[LBMarie9]

could you walk me through this from their HOME page? I'd like to be able to find it this way if it's possible. does that make sense? I've had a DR yell at me before and say, "look up the death rate for that in our area" (which it was for pertussis so umm yea)--- and I'd love to say-okay lets look it up--do you know how? well I'll show you the cdc's OWN numbers. (and for my own information too!) THANKS

I think it's pretty hidden from the home page.

Just add a /mmwr and it should get you there

Its actually in the appendix of the CDC Pink Book

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/default.htm

Click on the link above, then scroll down to the link that says "Go to a list of appendix files" and click on that link. Click on "Appendix G: Data & Statistics", then click on the first link "Reported Cases & Deaths..."

But if you're looking for your specific region, you'd likely be able to find it on your state's health department website.
