Laboratory Testing

Georgia's Public Health Laboratory (GPHL) provides laboratory support to Georgia's public health and medical communities.

Whenever possible, suspect cases of vaccine preventable diseases should be laboratory confirmed. To coordinate specimen collection and laboratory submission to GPHL, call your District or County Health Department. Please do not send specimens directly to GPHL.
