In the 1980s, pediatricians often were called to evaluate febrile children for meningitis—a disease that could mean lifelong disability, or death. Today, that scene is dramatically less common, thanks to public health interventions championed by the CDC and lifesaving vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Dr. Anne Schuchat paused her clinical career to join CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service, which turned into decades of leadership at the CDC, including serving as Principal Deputy Director and twice as Acting Director. From solving outbreaks to leading astoundingly successful efforts to reduce bacterial meningitis in infants through vaccination and coordinated clinical care, Dr. Schuchat’s work reflects the power of sustained, collaborative, evidence-based public health action.
