Dear Chairwomen DeLauro and Murray and Ranking Members Cole and Blunt:
“The undersigned 193 members of the CDC Coalition and other supporting state and national organizations urge you to provide at least $10 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s programs in the FY 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. We believe that Congress should prioritize funding for all of the activities and programs supported by CDC which are essential to protect the health of the American people. We are grateful for the important increases Congress provided for CDC programs in FY 2021 and for the emergency supplemental funding provided through CDC as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, many CDC programs have not received the significant funding increases that are needed to address the many other health challenges we face as a nation."
