The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has reversed the layoffs of over 450 employees from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) following an April reorganization. Internal documents confirm that the reinstated staff include key members of the childhood lead poisoning team. This latest move comes as a significant step in restoring workforce capacity amid previous reductions, with hundreds more potentially being welcomed back to their positions. This decision reflects a shift in the handling of CDC personnel and aims to bolster public health efforts.
