The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and the disease it causes, COVID-19, has been declared a public health emergency at both the national and international levels.1 Since late 2019, the virus has spread across the globe, sickened millions of people, and resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.2 The virus has spread rapidly across meat processing plants, with over 115 facilities in nineteen states reporting outbreaks.3 At least 4,913 meat processing plant workers have contracted the virus and twenty have passed away from it.4 The CDC plays a critical role in gathering and analyzing data from factories, responding to requests for assistance from state and local authorities, and providing guidance for safety improvements. American Oversight submits this request to shed light on how the CDC is responding to Coronavirus outbreaks in meat processing facilities and what the agency is doing to protect the approximately 500,000 Americans who work in those facilities. 1 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary, CTRS.

@Risk: the Last COVID Mile with Helen Branswell [Music] Jodi: Hey, I’M Jodi Butts
@Risk: The Last COVID Mile with Helen Branswell [Music] Jodi: Hey, I’m Jodi Butts. And welcome to @Risk, brought to you by Interac. It's been a long risky year in large part due to COVID-19 and its sprawling health and economic consequences. Thanks to the development of effective vaccines, we can finally see some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. Let's be buoyed by this over the holidays, but not get too ahead of ourselves either. What about this last mile of our COVID-19 journey? What are the potential bottlenecks and stumbling points that we should be looking out for? What should we be considering to ensure we reach our zero COVID-19 destination? To explore these questions I’m joined by Helen Branswell. Helen is Stat News's infectious diseases and global health reporter. She's Canadian and was introduced to epidemic reporting during Toronto's SARS outbreak in 2003. In the years since, she has written about bird flu, the H1N1 flu pandemic, Ebola, Zika, and now leads stats coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. Helen spent the summer of 2004 embedded at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a CDC knight fellow. In 2010 and 2011, she was a Neiman global health fellow at Harvard where she focused on polio eradication. Nobody covers the COVID-19 vaccine beat more thoughtfully or with more rigor than Helen. Our journey to this point has been long. Let's not stumble now with the end in sight. Lucky for us, Helen Branswell has us covered.

October 15, 2020 Robert Redfield, MD Director Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dear Dr. Redfield: On June 23, 2020, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the Association of Immunization Managers (AIM), and the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA) sent a letter offering our support, expertise, experience, and partnership for planning and executing a successful COVID-19 vaccine program. The letter also included our feedback and emphasis on the importance of building on the existing vaccine delivery infrastructure. The immunization community recognizes the critical importance of CDC, Operation Warp Speed (OWS), and other federal partners’ having timely and complete access to data on doses distributed and administered. These same needs exist in each state and local jurisdiction where state health officers, governors, legislatures, immunization programs, and state-based COVID- 19 task forces will need to closely track vaccine distribution and administration to carry out their mission of protecting their populations’ health. As organizations that work closely with states and local jurisdictions that will be on the front lines of vaccine distribution and administration, we’ve seen positive movement, such as setting vaccination priorities and decisions to use existing, centralized vaccine distribution infrastructure. Thank you for acting on these key issues. However, there continue to be areas of concern to the immunization community. The attached table outlines our concerns and recommendations. We believe these recommendations are in line with CDC’s COVID Planning Assumptions, COVID Scenarios, and Early COVID Action Items Checklist. Successful vaccine rollout in this country hinges on immediate and clear guidance that leverages the current health information technology infrastructure used nationally by both private and public health care sectors.

Jurisdictions: North Dakota, Florida, California, Minnesota, Philadelphia . Federal Participants included: – CDC – Indian Health Service – Operation Warp Speed – ASPR FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE Common Themes Among All Pilot Sites . COVID-19 vaccination is going to be resource-intensive, likely beyond what most jurisdictions currently have available. Jurisdictions are balancing significant COVID . Social distancing adds significant logistical complexity into the vaccination event planning. Clear and transparent communication from CDC to jurisdictions is critical; information gaps challenge planning. Technology concerns are persistent and significant. Public confidence in the vaccine among the highest concerns for jurisdictions. Border communities (along city/state borders) highlight the need for clear guidance from CDC so that neighboring jurisdictions do not differ in their approaches to vaccination. Specific, uniform federal guidance on those to vaccinate in the earliest days of vaccine availability will lead to less complexity and fewer questions at the state/city levels. Vaccine allocation should consider the critical populations jurisdictions expect to vaccinate and not be simply based on population.

Nancy Messonnier, MD (CAPT, USPHS, RET) Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S
Testimony before the Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations United States House of Representatives U.S. Public Health Response to the Measles Outbreak Nancy Messonnier, MD (CAPT, USPHS, RET) Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services For Release upon Delivery Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Expected at 10:00 a.m. INTRODUCTION Good morning Chair DeGette, Ranking Member Guthrie, and Members of the Committee. I am Dr. Nancy Messonnier, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Thank you for the opportunity to testify before your Subcommittee on this important topic. It has been said many times that vaccines are one of public health’s greatest achievements. The immunization of children in the United States (U.S.) has prevented hundreds of thousands of deaths, contributed to longer life expectancy, reduced health disparities, improved quality of life, and saved trillions of dollars in societal costs. Immunizations are safe and effective and have become a routine part of how we care for our children. CDC estimates that one percent of children in the U.S. receive no vaccines at all. Despite this low percentage of unvaccinated children, vaccine-preventable diseases continue to be a threat to the health of our communities. In 2018, CDC provided technical support to nearly 300 vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) investigations and conducted nearly 2,000 laboratory tests in support of these investigations. Why do VPD outbreaks still occur despite record-high vaccination coverage rates and near-record lows of most VPDs? Small numbers of cases can lead to the re-emergence of VPDs if there are increasing numbers of unvaccinated people, leaving communities susceptible to outbreaks of these preventable diseases.
