Looking back and ahead

CDC's work during the COVID-19 pandemic included supporting emergency response, strengthening laboratory capacity, and improving global access to testing, diagnostics, and vaccines. CDC rapidly and effectively used existing global health programs such as the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and subject matter expertise to move critical resources that were integral to the global COVID-19 response.
