Abstract
Strengthening the US Medical Countermeasure Enterprise for Biological Threats.
Highlights
Several policy frameworks and pieces of legislation govern US efforts in MCM acquisition, regulation, and distribution
Biological threats, which range from naturally occurring outbreaks of infectious disease to intentional acts of bioterrorism, pose unique dangers to public health and national security in the United States
Communities with access to vital MCMs are better equipped to detect both accidental and deliberately caused outbreaks quickly, immunize susceptible populations, and treat infected patients, thereby alleviating the consequences associated with infectious diseases: illness and death, economic losses, societal unrest, and strained public health and healthcare delivery systems
Summary
Several policy frameworks and pieces of legislation govern US efforts in MCM acquisition, regulation, and distribution. Biological threats, which range from naturally occurring outbreaks of infectious disease to intentional acts of bioterrorism, pose unique dangers to public health and national security in the United States.
