Partners: State and County-based Appropriate Antibiotic Use Programs

States and Counties with CDC-Funded Appropriate Antibiotic Use Programs

Regardless of whether or not they receive CDC funding, many states have multiple appropriate antibiotic use activities and campaigns that are organized and supported by a wide range of partners. CDC funding ranges from travel funds to full program funds.

In 2009, the Get Smart Campaign funded 13 states (OR, CA, MT, NM, MO, LA, MI, IN, VA, NC, SC, NJ, NYC).
