Who is eligible for direct services from the local lead program?
• Some educational and other services are available to all members of the public. Local programs work with health care providers to see that children with elevated blood lead levels are followed and families educated on lead risks and exposure. • Anyone under the age of 21 who has been found to have a blood lead test persistently ≥15 μg/dL or ≥20 μg/dL is eligible for extensive nursing and home services through the local lead program.
