Dr. Susan Monarez, the recently confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been ousted after less than a month on the job.
“We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people,” the Department of Health and Human Services said in a brief statement posted on the social media site X.
It added that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has “full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad.”
