For example, CDC finances local health departments throughout the country that distribute flu and other vaccines, track and reduce the transmission rates of infectious diseases, and control local outbreaks of food-borne illness, drug-resistant infections, and other emerging health threats. CDC also plays a critical role in pandemic and in bioterrorism preparedness. And CDC conducts epidemiological and other research that helps the health care community identify and find solutions to such public health problems as premature births and and type 2 diabetes. We recently completed a fact sheet on CDC that I hope you find useful. You can read the full fact sheet here: http://www.researchamerica.org/uploads/IntroductoryAgencyFactSheet.pdfMax G.
