Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response gets restructuring regarding vaccine stockpiling
The Department of Health and Human Services has a smaller agency within it called the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response and it has been responsible for much of the vaccine supplies available to the public in recent years. In recent years there have been concerns about the effectiveness of ASPR in fulfilling its mission, and there have been calls for its restructuring.
One of the key criticisms of ASPR is that there is a lack of coordination between the agency and other public health agencies. This can lead to confusion and inefficiencies during emergency response efforts. There have been concerns that ASPR’s responsibilities overlap with those of other federal agencies, resulting in duplication of efforts and inefficiencies. Proposed changes include improving coordination, reducing duplication of efforts, providing adequate funding, and appointing strong leadership.
