For 25 years, TFAH has worked to ensure healthy communities because our nation’s economic stability and security depends on it. To realize a future where public health is supported and well-funded, we must take action today! #NPHW

Our nation’s vaccine schedule was built to best protect children as they grow. However, today’s announcement undermines this deliberate scientific process and places increased burden on parents and health providers to navigate an increasingly complex system. www.tfah.org/article/publ...

Some CDC layoffs from last week have been reversed. But not for the analysts responsible for monitoring and protecting the United States from biological, chemical and nuclear threats www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Hundreds of CDC layoffs reversed, but biodefense preparedness staff hit
More than half of the roughly 1,300 CDC layoff notices have been rescinded, but workers at health agencies who work on biodefense and mental health still lost their jobs.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

Surgeons general warning: CDC saves lives. It's up to us to save public health. | Opinion
As surgeons general, we took an oath to protect Americans. It includes speaking up when public health is in danger. We see that danger now at the CDC.
