CDC and NIH representatives stand in a special isolation patient room at the NIH Clinical Center

On June 12, Dr. Robert Redfield (center), director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), visited NIH. Redfield learned about NIH efforts on developing a universal vaccine against the influenza virus - one which you wouldn't need to get every year. Dr. James Gilman (third from left), CEO of the Clinical Center, escorted Redfield through the Clinical Center Special Clinical Studies Unit which hosts healthy volunteer clinical trials to advance the research on influenza vaccines. Also pictured is Amanda Campbell (left), deputy chief of staff at CDC, Dr. Anthony Fauci (second from left), director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, John Burklow (second from right), associate director for communications and public liaison and Dr. Richard Davey (far right), medical director of the SCSU.
