US EditionNIH Director Jay Bhattacharya Named Acting CDC Leader Amid Leadership Changes
Jay Bhattacharya will lead the CDC temporarily while maintaining his NIH role amid a leadership reshuffle triggered by disputes over vaccine policies and firings, officials said.
- On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that Jay Bhattacharya, NIH director, will assume acting leadership of the CDC, replacing Jim O'Neill, who served as acting CDC director and deputy secretary.
- After Monarez's removal, O'Neill became acting CDC director, with Politico first reporting his departure on Friday, amid disputed accounts by Kennedy.
- James O'Neill signed off on reducing recommended pediatric vaccines and served simultaneously as acting CDC director and HHS deputy secretary before exiting both roles; the administration plans to nominate him to lead the National Science Foundation.
- Several top CDC officials resigned in protest after Susan Monarez's ouster, reducing leadership continuity, while NIH faces vacancies with more than half of its 27 institutes and centers lacking permanent directors.
- O'Neill's planned NSF nomination and Bhattacharya becoming the third CDC leader since summer indicate a broader administrative reshuffle, a Reuters official said.
