Having a certification that specifies ID as a specialty is not nearly as important as having actual work experience in infection control.

Get a masters (MSN) and NP license. Do an internship in hospital epidemiology and infection control. Or get a job in those departments. That will be just as good for leading you to your career goal.

Also, having public health certification would be good, too, as PH departments often need nurses experienced in infection control and ID.
