Chlamydia reports spur STD talk today

Given the mushrooming number of chlamydia reports in both Volusia and Flagler counties, Volusia County Health Department Director Dr. Bonnie Sorensen has scheduled a talk about sexually-transmitted disease for today.

Looking at the rates of cases per 100,000 residents over three-year, rolling averages, reports of chlamydia in Flagler County have increased by 86 percent between 2004 and 2008; by 50 percent in Volusia County over the same time.
