How important is the CDC for keeping healthcare providers informed? Are our doctors able to get the data they need from alternative sources when CDC is not functioning?
It depends. In some cases schedules may be built into the EMR so providers are notified when someone is eligible but for emerging or rare conditions not having accurate info is challenging. Some providers were discussing not finding info they needed when pages went down in Jan.
That is so irresponsible of the government to do that. It is the equivalent of the Australian vaccines handbook being deleted which is an essential resource
Some people have said it is currently restored. When I looked for it earlier this week I got a "page not found" error, so perhaps it is one that was put back due to the judicial order.
