Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: I joined CDC in 2012, which I had dreamed of ever since I watched the movie Outbreak as a teenager. That movie helped me believe that I might one day be a disease detective at CDC. Today, I’m a physician and epidemiologist with CDC. I’m stationed at the New York City health department and support emergency preparedness and response, particularly for infectious diseases, like Ebola and Zika. CDC protects America’s health, safety, and security. I support this goal by fighting outbreaks of infectious diseases. Ebola showed us that a health threat anywhere is a health threat everywhere. That’s why CDC sends staff like me around the world, to stop outbreaks where they start. Several years ago, CDC sent me to the country of Georgia, which used to be a part of the Soviet Union. We had discovered a new virus that was related to the deadly smallpox virus. Because it was a new virus, we didn’t know if it was as deadly as smallpox. We spent days searching for people who had become infected to learn more about this virus. This work meant a lot to me. My dad had smallpox when he was a child and survived so I could be here today. It was organizations like CDC that helped rid the world of the deadly smallpox virus. It is one of the greatest privileges of my life to serve my country through CDC. I’m Neil Vora and I am CDC!
