CDC, FDA Participate In WHO Meeting To Discuss Flu Vaccines

Reuters (2/28, Sunny, Singh) reported the CDC and the FDA “took part in a World Health Organization meeting to discuss flu vaccine composition ahead of the upcoming influenza season, an official at the UN agency said on Friday.” Despite its “broader pullback from the WHO, the U.S. has not moved to quit the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the agency’s regional office for the Americas. The WHO said the U.S. agencies have been contributing information to its Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System.”
