Using the five goals and 19 strategic priorities developed using the framework, on November 21 the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a request for information soliciting comments and suggestions from stakeholders for the development of a new National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Vector-Borne Diseases. The proposed strategy details the federal government’s priorities for addressing both current and potential future vector-borne disease threats. Submit comments and suggestions electronically by December 21.
