Image via WikipediaOne February 11, Scott Harper a Career Epidemiology
Field Officer (CEFO) for the Centers for Disese Control (CDC)
posted "Battling Disease Outbreaks in the Big Apple." Mr. Harper is
stationed at the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene
and currently leads surveillance and response activities for influenza,
zoonotic, and vectorborne diseases. The posting discusses New York
City's most recent disease importation that came in the form of
pandemic H1N1 Influenza in 2009-10. It makes interesting reading and
gives you an idea what life as a CEFO is like. Hope you find it as
interesting as I did.
