New MCM Resources Available in On-TRAC

To help state, local, tribal, and territorial governments prepare for, respond to, and recover from exposures to anthrax and other biological agents, CDC has released “Receiving 60-day Anthrax Medical Countermeasures from CDC's Strategic National Stockpile: Planning Considerations for State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Partners.” The planning considerations will help public health and healthcare planners coordinate operations to receive medical countermeasures (MCMs) from CDC’s Strategic National Stockpile during an anthrax response. The document is available for download in the Hot Topics section of CDC’s Online Technical Resource and Assistance Center (On-TRAC). Also available in On-TRAC are CDC’s Second Wednesday Webinar recordings and presentation slides from January 2016 to May 2017. Second Wednesday Webinars held before 2016 are archived in the On-TRAC Media Library.
