This keeps planning, training, and outbreak response goi…
- HHS gets more flexibility on tick strategy: benefit, low. The law changes who HHS works with on the national tick strategy. HHS now works with “appropriate individuals” and can act “through” partners. This gives HHS more flexibility to run the strategy and the centers. The changes take effect upon enactment.
