  • A Public Health Milestone: COVID-19 Vaccine Q&A With Meredith Allen, ASTHO’s Vice President for Health Security

    The delivery of the first shipments of COVID-19 vaccines to hospitals across the country this week is a major moment in United States public health history. We sat down with Meredith Allen, ASTHO’s vice president for health security, to contextualize the significance of this achievement and what it means for the pandemic response moving forward.

  • The Legal Framework for Administering COVID-19 Vaccines

    After a deadly year, a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 infections is finally here. Earlier this month, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and will be considering a similar authorization for a vaccine developed by Moderna later this week. Anticipating a rapid deployment of COVID-19 vaccines as they are authorized, the CDC developed COVID-19 Vaccination Program Operational Guidance in collaboration with state and local jurisdictions to outline how each jurisdiction will make an authorized vaccine widely available. In addition to the operational plans, there is a legal framework of federal and state laws supporting the distribution and administration of the FDA-authorized vaccines.

  • Ending the HIV Epidemic Through Community Engagement

    As the federally-funded “Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America” enters its second year, it is apparent that community engagement is paramount in reaching those that are out of care and making sure resources are available to the communities who need them most. Community engagement involves meaningful participation of non-traditional partners, elevating their voices and empowering communities to improve their own health. The federal government is affirming its commitment to community engagement and keeping a health equity lens front and center, and states are following suit in their own HIV planning.
