The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee is scheduled to vote Thursday morning on whether to advance Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the agency she would inherit is managing more simultaneous outbreaks than at any point in recent years.
The executive session is set for 9:45 a.m. Eastern in 430 Dirksen Senate Office Building, according to the committee's published notice. Schwartz's nomination appears on the agenda alongside Sean Kaufman's nomination to be assistant secretary for preparedness and response.
