Alaska Public Health Training Network
Division of Public Health – Update and Current Events
The federal government has passed multiple pieces of legislation related to the distribution and dispensing of medical countermeasures during an emergency response; however, the legislation has created many questions for state and local Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) planners, such as how an emergency use authorization (EUA) will affect the dispensing of state caches of medications and whether or not the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act will protect volunteers working in points of dispensing (PODs). This broadcast will explore some of the legal issues facing state and local SNS planners as they prepare for a mass antibiotic dispensing campaign. Experts from federal and state agencies will discuss current legal issues and how planners can use the laws in place to assist them in their dispensing plans.
Target Audience: State, local, territory, and tribal public health officials, state and local SNS and Cities Readiness Initiative planners, emergency managers, and state and local public health law professionals.
