Biden selects Mandy Cohen as CDC Director
TL;DR Summary
President Biden plans to appoint Dr. Mandy Cohen, former North Carolina health secretary, as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Cohen will take over from Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, who announced last month that she would step down from her position on June 30. Dr. Cohen will oversee the CDC's response to public health crises, including Covid-19, and will be responsible for a vast set of public health crises handled across the agency's centers. The appointment does not require Senate confirmation, and Dr. Cohen can assume leadership of the CDC as soon as Dr. Walensky steps down.
