CDC

I appreciate the ongoing partnership with Governor @HenryMcMaster and the South Carolina Department of Public Health (@SC_DPH) in the coordinated response to the measles outbreak. CDC teams are working side-by-side with state and local partners, providing epidemiologists, laboratory support, and real-time outbreak analysis. This work is grounded in trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to protecting communities. -Jay Bhattacharya, Acting CDC Director

Congratulations, @NIHDirector_Jay, on your appointment as Acting Director of @CDCgov in addition to your role as Director of @NIH. You have championed gold standard science, transparent data, and public accountability — and CDC will benefit from that same disciplined leadership at this pivotal time.

This is what American-led #GlobalHealthSecurity looks like. In 2025, Uganda reported an outbreak of Ebola. The CDC quickly deployed trained experts to assist Uganda’s national response. Collaborating with local teams, they effectively tracked and contained the outbreak to just 9 cases, preventing it from spreading further, both globally and to the United States. Keeping Americans safe is our number 1 goal. #CrisisToControl
