To ensure we're better prepared when facing an outbreak like Zika or Ebola,
#PAHPA improves the existing Emergency Response Fund so the Secretary doesn't have to wait on approval from Congress to immediately fund the response measures needed to counteract an outbreak & save livesShow this thread -
#PAHPA ensures more#heathcare professionals like nurses/doctors can be hired/trained when facing a#publichealth crisis. It ensures we have a robust supply of vaccines, equipment like gloves, hazmat suits, masks etc in our Strategic National Stockpiles located across the countryShow this thread -
I'd like to thank
@RepAnnaEshoo & my colleagues at@HouseCommerce for their attention to this issue. I cannot emphasize enough how critically important it is to reauthorize#PAHPA before it expires at the end of September.Show this thread
