Times of India · politics

Jennifer Shuford, the deputy director and chief medical officer of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is reportedly leaving her position after the upcoming midterm elections. Her departure follows proposed changes to the administration's vaccine policy, including a plan to divide certain childhood vaccinations into five separate doses. The exact reasons for Shuford's exit are unclear, with reports suggesting either family health issues or disagreements with the administration's vaccination approach. Neither the CDC nor the White House have officially confirmed these developments.
