Former CDC Director to Warn of Reduced Vaccine Access and Political Interference

Ousted CDC director Susan Monarez is set to testify before the Senate, warning of a 'real risk' of reduced vaccine access for children if a new vaccine advisory panel proceeds with its scheduled meeting, and will share her side of the story regarding her firing, which she attributes to her refusal to pre-approve vaccine recommendations without evidence and to dismiss scientists, amid ongoing controversy over vaccine policy changes.
