CDC deputy director to leave agency after 4 months
Dr. Jennifer Shuford, a former state health commissioner whom President Donald Trump appointed to a top post at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help steady the agency, is leaving after just four months in the job. Jennifer Shuford, a former Texas health commissioner, is leaving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after only four months in the role. Her last day is scheduled for Nov. 12. Shufford's departure comes amid criticism over the CDC's response to measles outbreaks and a dispute over its refusal to acknowledge several deaths reported by the Pennsylvania Health Department. Dr. Erica Schwartz, the CDC director, announced the news to staff and plans to start a search for her replacement soon. Shulford previously served as Texas's health commissioner and gained respect from public health officials for overseeing its response to a measles outbreak.
