概要

 Listeners, as of today, there are no active nationwide public health emergencies or specific disease outbreak alerts issued by the CDC across the United States. According to Politico, the CDC is undergoing significant leadership changes, with NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya now serving as acting CDC director, replacing Jim O'Neill, amid ongoing restructuring by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The New York Times first reported this shift, which follows the firing of previous director Susan Monarez over vaccine policy disputes.

A key controversy surrounds the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP. Healthbeat reports that the committee, which recently altered the childhood vaccine schedule by removing recommendations for meningitis, flu, hepatitis A, and rotavirus vaccines, has failed to post its required public agenda for its upcoming February 25-27 meeting in Atlanta. This violates federal rules under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which mandates at least seven days' notice via the Federal Register, according to Georgetown University law expert Lawrence Gostin. Without an agenda, public input on potential vaccine policy changes is limited, drawing criticism from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is suing HHS.

CIDRAP notes Bhattacharya's temporary oversight comes amid CDC staffing cuts and declining public trust—only 47% of Americans now trust CDC vaccine information, per recent polls cited in multiple outlets like STAT and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Bhattacharya, known for critiquing COVID lockdowns, supports childhood vaccinations, stating at a Senate hearing that vaccinating against measles is essential amid outbreaks.

No new infectious disease alerts, travel advisories, or food safety warnings appear active today from CDC or HHS sources. The U.S. Embassy in Ecuador mentions CDC sharing preparedness best practices internationally, but nothing domestic-specific.

Stay vigilant with routine precautions like handwashing and up-to-date vaccinations as recommended. Listeners, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
