Pres. Trump signed an executive order aimed at developing better flu vaccines to defend against both seasonal influenza and the possibility of a future pandemic outbreak.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at developing better flu vaccines to defend Americans against both seasonal influenza and the possibility of a future pandemic outbreak.
The executive action ordered the creation of a flu vaccine task force, with input from various federal agencies and headed up by Azar and the secretary of defense. For now, the executive order does not allocate any additional funding toward vaccine development or production. “We’ve been struggling for about 10 years now,” Richard Webby, a faculty member in the infectious disease department at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, told ABC News.
Dr. Peter Hotez, professor and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told ABC News that while he appreciated the president highlighting"one of our greatest infectious disease threats,” he didn’t understand why flu vaccine development and innovation had been so sluggish.
