Q: What changes are proposed for CDC funding in FY27, and how would that affect existing programs?
CDC would see a substantial reduction in discretionary funding, with several programs moved to the new Administration for a Healthy America, implying significant realignments and potential eliminations of certain CDC activities.
NACCHO's Podcast from Washington: Update on the Government Shutdown and How NACCHO Research Helps Advance the Work of Local Health Departments

Q: What challenges did the Cabell-Huntington Health Department face in 2025, and how are you planning to address them in 2026?

Q: Can you explain the key changes to the childhood vaccine schedule and what they mean for local health departments?
The CDC recommendations were narrowed from 17 to 11 vaccines, with many moving to risk-based or shared decision-making, requiring local health departments to adapt decision processes and communications with communities.
NACCHO's Podcast from Washington: Update on FY27 HHS Budget Hearings and Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department's Wastewater Monitoring Program
Q: So what data are you collecting and what actions do you take if you have a detection?

They monitor trends over time to distinguish common versus emerging issues, and they track substance use targets similarly, using quantified trends to identify increases or spikes and inform public health interventions.
