Flu season has arrived earlier than usual in San Francisco, and the city has already reported its first flu-related death of the season. Now is the time to get protected

Pregnant?
Protect yourself and your developing baby by getting your flu vaccine this season. A flu vaccine now will protect your baby when they’re born. Babies younger than 6 months are too young to get the flu vaccine. Their only protection is from maternal antibodies passed on during pregnancy.

🎓💙 In October we celebrated 26 families graduating from SFDPH’s Nurse-Family Partnership—marking more than two years of growth, learning, and partnership with their Public Health Nurses.

We also honored longtime Public Health Nurse Ileana Burleson, retiring after 28 years of service and a legacy of supporting families toward health and self‑sufficiency. One of her graduates even shared that she’s opened her own daycare—an inspiring example of what the Nurse-Family Partnership program makes possible.

Congratulations to our graduates and thank you to the nurses who walk alongside them every step of the way, giving first time parents a stronger start. 💛

A potent kratom-derived opioid called MGM-15 recently caused a person’s overdose death in San Francisco. MGM-15 has been previously identified in overdoses in the states of Utah and Washington. This is the first time the substance has been linked to a fatal overdose in SF.

Recently designated as a Schedule 1 substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency, MGM-15 is illegal for sale. It has been found in products marketed as “uncaria tomentosa” or “cat’s claw” sold in smoke shops and gas stations. Ingesting too much MGM-15 can result in a fatal opioid overdose.

SFDPH recommends administering naloxone and calling 911 in the case of any suspected overdose. SFDPH offers effective treatment for opioid use disorder. To be linked to a treatment program or speak to an addiction specialist call SFDPH at 888-246-3333.
