Vermont Asthma Program

The Vermont Asthma Program is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create an asthma prevention program and to maintain and enhance an asthma surveillance system. Asthma surveillance is the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of asthma-related data for use in planning, implementation, and evaluation of related public health activities. Asthma surveillance data helps to direct and inform the activities of the Vermont Asthma Program and their partners as well as provides information to the public about asthma in their communities.
