Public Health Preparedness at a Price

In response to the anthrax attacks of fall 2001, the federal government sent
$1.6 billion in increased public health funding for state and local governments
to enhance preparedness for such emergencies. But is the country better prepared
for a terrorist attack now that it was in 2002? How have states and cities used
their additional funding? Are the federal dollars adequate? Can we prepare for
bioterrorism without neglecting other critical public health functions, such
as vaccinating children? The Century Foundation’s report Public Health Preparedness
at a Price: Illinois takes up these critical questions.
