APIC is asking for an immediate and permanent end to this HHS gag order. Silencing healthcare experts weakens outbreak response, erodes public trust, and endangers communities. 📢 Read APIC's full statement: bit.ly/40Ijca4 #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #CDC

WHO declares the Mpox outbreak (formerly known as Monkey Pox) a public health emergency. In light of this, APIC has created an Mpox Playbook that IPs can download and customize. The new strain is spreading quickly with a higher fatality rate. For Playbook link visit our bio.
