CDC Voice/Fax Information Service
In response to the increased need for and use of public health
information by health professionals and the public, the CDC
Voice/Fax Information Service (CDC VIS) is available. With the CDC
VIS, current and comprehensive information on disease risk and
prevention strategies may be readily accessed and delivered by
telephone voice or fax, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The
information on the CDC VIS has been prepared by CDC to assure the
scientific accuracy and has been scripted to relate to the target
populations of callers.
During 1994, the CDC VIS responded to 493,000 requests for
voice information and 180,000 fax requests, resulting in the
transmission of 432,000 documents totaling 1.3 million pages.
Suggestions and comments received from callers have resulted in
refinement of the system to make it more usable and tailored to the
information needs of the users.
To access the CDC Voice Information System, telephone (404)
332-4555; to access the CDC Fax Information System, telephone (404)
