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.

  • Aacp Core List of Journals for Pharmacy Education
    AACP CORE LIST OF JOURNALS FOR PHARMACY EDUCATION 7th Edition, 2019 Prepared by: Robert D. Becketta, PharmD; Skye Bicketb, DHSc, MLIS; Kayce Gillc, MIS; Neyda Gilmand, MILS; Jason Guye, PharmD; Pam Hargwoodf, MLIS; Jennifer Hartmang, PharmD; Rebecca Hooverh; Tim Hutchersoni, PharmD; Jennifer Martinj, MIRLS; John Redwanskik, PharmD; Christina M. Seegerg, CPhT, MLS, AHIP Introduction The 7th edition of the AACP Core List of Journals for Pharmacy Education (Core Journals List) is a companion list to AACP Basic Resources for Pharmacy Education, and is an updated version of the 2016 Core Journals List. The update was conducted by an interdisciplinary task force of drug information specialists and pharmacy librarians. The goals for this update were to refine the previous list using similar, systematic collection methods. Similar to the previous update, the goal was to produce a final list containing 200 to 300 journals. The Core Journals List is a service project of the Library and Information Sciences Section of AACP. It is intended to provide information that assists with collection development as applied to the curriculum of the particular school or college of pharmacy for which it is being used. The Core Journals List is produced as a guide for those developing or maintaining the library collections that serve colleges and schools of pharmacy. While the recommended journals are suitable for all pharmacy college libraries, not all pharmacy college libraries should feel obligated to purchase every title on the list. Each pharmacy program has its own mission and program(s), so each college’s library’s collection must reflect that mission and support the college’s curricula.
