Initially, the state epidemiologist was the head of the epidemiology department at the State Bacteriological Laboratory at the time of its establishment in 1955.[1] In 1993, the post was transferred to the newly founded agency Institute for Communicable Disease Control. After the Institute was merged with Swedish National Institute of Public Health in 2014, the post became part of the new agency, the Public Health Agency of Sweden.[2]
