Discover why vector control is essential to protecting public health and our communities


This short video from the MVCAC PR committee was created for MVCDs to use in their outreach.


In the video MVCAC provides a high-level overview of how local vector control districts work to prevent the spread of diseases carried by mosquitoes, ticks, and other vectors. Learn how science, surveillance, and community partnerships help keep Californians safe and healthy.


Perfect for sharing with local communities, elected officials, and on social media to raise awareness about the vital role of vector control in maintaining quality of life across California.
