Health Officer Monthly Newsletter for Orange County Clinicians November 2025
November 21, 2025
Regina Chinsio-Kwong, DO County Health Officer
A Month of Gratitude
As we near the end of another challenging year, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the immense emotional and physical toll that recent events have taken on all of us especially those working across health care, public health, community health, public safety, research, the sciences, and all who support the social determinants of health that shape the well-being of our communities. Despite ongoing uncertainties and diminishing resources, your commitment to serving our communities has been nothing short of extraordinary.
We recognize the resilience, compassion, and innovation that each of you brings to your work every day. Thank you for your continued dedication and service.
This November has brought additional stress for many, particularly due to the recent federal government shutdown. Fortunately, a temporary funding bill was passed last week, extending operations through January 30, 2026. While this provides short-term relief, the long-term impacts on local programs and services remain a concern.
For more information on the implications of the shutdown as well as federal decisions:

• On Air: Health Care Costs & Food Benefits
According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), approximately 42 million Americans rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP.
In Orange County (OC), approximately 310,000 are recipients of CalFresh - California’s version of SNAP. With the SNAP benefits temporarily on hold during this year’s government shutdown, beneficiaries and families had to seek assistance elsewhere, resulting in local foodbanks and food pantries needing to tap into their resources that were allotted for late November/December. Additionally, even with the government coming back online, potential future cuts to SNAP benefits remain with the passage of HR.1. This means local agencies and food banks will continue to see increased demand as federal support becomes less reliable.
Learn more about CalFresh at OC Social Services Agency - CalFresh.

Lung Cancer Awareness Month and Great American Smokeout - November 20, 2025
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the US, yet it often receives less attention than other cancers.
Key facts:
• Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer not just smokers.
• Early detection saves lives. Low-dose CT screening can reduce mortality.
• White or pearl ribbons symbolize awareness and remembrance. Clinicians are encouraged to:
• Discuss screening options with high-risk patients.
• Educate about symptoms and risk factors.
• Support smoking cessation efforts.
Join the movement to help others quit smoking during the Great American Smokeout –November 20, 2025.
The Great American Smokeout, led by the American Cancer Society, encourages people to make a plan to quit smoking even if just for one day.
Why it matters:
• Tobacco use remains a leading preventable cause of death.
• Quitting improves health at any age and reduces cancer risk.
• Support from clinicians significantly increases quit success rates. How you can help:
• Offer brief tobacco cessation counseling.
• Refer patients to quit lines and digital tools.
• Share resources in your clinic or community.
HCA Press Releases
Fentanyl Overdose Deaths Decline in Orange County — But Vigilance Remains Critical
Orange County has reported a five-year low in fentanyl-related overdose deaths, with 407 deaths in 2024, down from 613 in 2023—a 34% decrease. This downward trend is continuing into 2025 Fentanyl-Related Deaths in Orange County See Five-Year Low | Orange County California - Health Care Agency
What’s Working:
• Aggressive enforcement: Over 184 pounds of fentanyl powder and 45,300 pills were seized in 2024.
• Overdose investigations: Since 2021, all drug-related overdoses are treated as potential homicides.
• Public health interventions and awareness campaigns: Expanded naloxone distribution, jail-based treatment programs, and local campaigns led by the OC Health Care Agency.
• Campaigns:
• The “Life is Greater Than Drugs” campaign which targeted OC youth to showcase life with music, sports, artistic and creative dreams versus a life misusing drugs like opioids and fentanyl, causing devastating loss of those dreams. Visit Life Is Greater Than Drugs
• The “Fentanyl is Forever” campaign targets all OC residents, speaking to families, friends, and providers to drive awareness of the dangers of fentanyl and empower the public to access local resources for assistance. Visit Fentanyl Is Forever OC.
Resources remain available for anyone who is struggling with substance use. Visit www.ocnavigator.org, or call (855) OC-Links.
Why We Must Stay Vigilant
While fentanyl-related deaths are declining, other substances remain widely accessible and pose serious risks especially during the holiday season and periods of financial stress.
Substances of Concern:
• Kratom: A legal herbal substance with opioid-like effects; increasingly used for selfmedication.
• Alcohol: Still one of the most common substances involved in overdose deaths and hospitalizations.
• Nitrous Oxide (“Whippets”): Easily accessible and often misused by youth and young adults.
• Polysubstance use: Combining substances (e.g., alcohol and opioids) increases overdose risk.
The OC Health Care Agency continues to monitor these trends and encourages clinicians and community partners to:
• Screen for non-opioid substance use.
• Educate patients and families about holiday-related risk factors.
• Promote safe storage and disposal of all substances.

Infant Botulism Outbreak - National Recall of ByHeart Organic Baby Formula
Total infants linked to ByHeart Organic Baby Formula: 31. Cases have been reported in multiple states, including California (3 cases). No cases have been reported in Orange County to date. All affected infants were hospitalized. No deaths have occurred.
• Of note, infant botulism is caused by ingestion of clostridium botulinum spores, which then can produce botulinum toxin in the infant’s colon. The toxin blocks acetylcholine release leading to flaccid paralysis which can be fatal if not treated early.
• Clinicians are urged to maintain a high index of suspicion and ask parents about the use of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant formula in any suspected cases.
• If infant botulism is suspected, providers can consult with experts at the CDPH Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program immediately at (510) 231-7600 (available 24/7).
Questions about infant botulism from parents and caregivers can be directed to a separate hotline 1(833) 398-2022, which is available 7 a.m. – 11 p.m. (Pacific Time)
• Treatment is only available through California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and requires consultation with CDPH’s Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program.
• CDPH is the main manufacturer/developer of Botulism Immune Globulin (BabyBIG) - the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for infant botulism types A and B. BabyBIG is a human-derived immune globulin (IgG) that contains high titers of antibodies against botulinum neurotoxins A and B. These titers help neutralize circulating botulinum toxin, halting progression of paralysis.

2. State Public Health Updates
A. November 17, 2025: CAHAN- Silicosis Cases in Countertop Workers Continue to Rise, as Silicosis Becomes a Reportable Disease in California (OC News Alert also posted)
As of July 2025, updated Title 17 California Code of Regulations designates silicosis as a reportable disease. Clinicians are required to report confirmed or suspected cases of silicosis to the local health department in the patient’s county of residence within 7 calendar days.
Since 2019, the CDPH has conducted statewide, surveillance and has identified 432 confirmed cases associated with engineered stone (ES) exposure, with 86 confirmed cases in Orange County.
Health care providers are advised to screen for occupational exposure by asking patients about current or past work in countertop fabrication or related industries, follow screening, and diagnostic guidelines and refer early for specialized care.
The CDPH created the CDPH Silicosis Dashboard for reported ES cases.
B. October 21, 2025: Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) released update on GLP1s. As of January 1, 2026, GLP-1s for weight loss will not be covered. Link: Important Update: GLP-1s for Weight

D. Public Health – Communicable Disease Control Division (CDCD) Updates
1. Winter Respiratory Virus Season is Coming
COVID-19, influenza, and RSV percent positivity remains low, <2%. COVID-19 positivity continues to decline. Influenza and RSV positivity rates remain low in California, however Emergency Department visits are trending upward. RSV activity is increasing in the southeastern and southern areas of the country, with Emergency Department visits increasing for children age 0-4 years old. Viruses other than COVID-19, flu and RSV can also circulate during the fall and can cause viral-like illness.
Europe, particularly the United Kingdom (UK), has seen an early start to the influenza season. Influenza A(H3N2) has been predominant strain The dominant influenza A(H3N2) strain has been designated subclade K and has several mutations suggesting a drift from the influenza A(H3N2) used in this season's influenza vaccine with an absent CDC and mismatched 'subclade K' flu strain, experts face upcoming season with uncertainty. The UK recently conducted and early vaccine effectiveness study suggesting that the current season’s vaccine remains effective against the circulating influenza A(H3N2) Early influenza virus characterisation and vaccine effectiveness in England.
With the end of the Federal Government shutdown CDC is once again updating weekly both its Respiratory Illness Data Channel and Flu View. Currently, they are reporting respiratory virus activity as low but with trends increasing for influenza and RSV.
Local trends can be found at HCA Seasonal Respiratory Viruses, while state trends can be found at CDPH’s Respiratory Virus Hub.
Limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines for Children Available CDPH recommends COVID-19 Vaccines for everyone 6 months of age and older.
In the state of California, certified pharmacists are able to offer vaccines for children 3 years of age and older. Families of children under the age of 3 seeking a vaccine for their child will need to obtain a vaccine at a provider’s office. To address the potential gaps in access to vaccine for families seeking them, the state is providing a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines for children 6 months of age through 11 years to pharmacies and local health jurisdictions for insured children.
The OC Health Care Agency’s Family Health Clinics located at 1725 W 17th Street, Santa Ana has a limited supply of the COVID-19 vaccine for insured children 6 months of age through 11 years of age.
Appointments for covid vaccination can be made by calling 1 (800) 914-4887
2. Measles
Nationally measles activity has been declining. As of November 18, the CDC reports a total of 1,753 confirmed cases across 43 jurisdictions. CDPH has reported 22 cases as of November 17, 2025 in thirteen jurisdictions. Orange County has had two confirmed measles cases to date, in 2025. One in February in an infant who had traveled internationally. The second case in September was a two-year old unvaccinated child with an unknown exposure, but they traveled domestically during the period that they were exposed. The CDC continues to emphasize that providers should include measles in their differential in the appropriate clinical and epidemiologic settings: Healthcare Providers: Stay Alert for Measles Cases
Canada recently lost its World Health Organization (WHO) measles elimination status after the same strain circulated there for more than a year, resulting in over 5,000 cases and 2 deaths. Measles is now considered endemic there. The US measles elimination status is likely to be decided early 2026. With ongoing measles outbreaks, the US is at risk of losing its measles elimination status, signaling that the virus may once again become endemic and regularly circulate within communities. With increased individuals getting sick with measles, morbidity and mortality from the illness are likely to rise. This underscores the urgent need for everyone especially health care providers and families to stay vigilant and ensure up-to-date vaccination to protect against serious illness and prevent further spread.
Local information and resources are available at CDPH Measles and HCA Measles.
3. Avian Influenza
Bird flu, or highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) is still around and continues to affect birds (wild birds, commercial and backyard flocks) and livestock. Updates from the USDA are available H5N1 Influenza.
Washington State health authorities identified a case of avian influenza A (H5N5) in a severely ill person from a rural part of the state who kept backyard poultry which were exposed to wild birds, First ever human case of H5N5 avian flu confirmed in Washington state. This is the first human to be diagnosed with avian flu since February of 2025.
As a reminder, health care providers should consider the possibility of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in a patient with:
- Signs or symptoms consistent with acute respiratory tract infection and/or conjunctivitis; AND
- A history of exposure in the past 10 days to animals or humans suspected or confirmed to have avian influenza A(H5N1) or who have had exposure to raw milk.
Clinicians are encouraged to educate patients who work with infected animals to use Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and receive seasonal influenza vaccine during the influenza season.
Clinicians who suspect influenza
A(H5N1) virus infection should immediately reach out to HCA CDCD to help determine if testing is warranted and for further directions for appropriate specimen collection.
More information about bird flu can be found at:
CDC’s H5 Bird Flu: Current Situation site
CDPH Current Bird Flu Situation
The USDA also provides information on how to protect flocks on their Defend the Flock page.
4. Mpox
In October local transmission of clade 1b mpox was identified in Southern California CDPH Health Advisory - Community Spread of Clade I Mpox Within California. While introductions of clade 1 mpox has occurred among recent international travelers the cases identified denied recent travel suggesting local transmission. Not all laboratories perform mpox clade typing. The HCA works with testing laboratories determine clade status of positive isolates.
Cases of clade 2 mpox continue to occur sporadically with 7 confirmed cases in OC to date in 2025. Providers should remain vigilant for people presenting with signs of mpox, test appropriately and notify the HCA CDCD at (714) 834-8180 with any suspect cases. Testing can be conducted through most commercial laboratories.
All providers and particularly those serving the men who have sex with men (MSM) community should educate patients to prevent infection and spread of the virus, including:
• Get vaccinated - Those at risk are advised to get the twodose vaccine Jynneos if they haven’t already done so. Vaccination with both doses remains safe and effective and offers the best protection. Those who get exposed to mpox should get they mpox vaccine ASAP and before symptoms develop. Jynneos vaccine can be found through My Turn CA or by contacting your local pharmacy about availability.
• People with suspect mpox should avoid close contact and if confirmed avoid contact with others until all lesions have healed. Get tested - Those who are exposed If symptoms develop (rash, fever or swollen lymph nodes).
Additional information about mpox can be found at HCA - Mpox and CDPH Mpox Guidance.
5. Dengue
A mosquito in Los Angeles County tested positive for dengue, the first detection of the virus in an Aedes mosquito in the state. The mosquito was found in a surveillance trap in Sun Valley, the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District said in a news release. At least seven cases of locally acquired dengue, a viral illness that can be fatal, have been reported in LA County thus far in 2025, including in Sun Valley, La Puente and North Hollywood.
There have no cases of locally acquired dengue cases reported in Orange County to date, and it is important to remind patients about the proactive steps they can take to prevent mosquito breeding and bites, including wearing insect repellent, pouring out standing water in and near your home at least once per week, removing unneeded containers that can hold standing water.
