Two weeks into the Trump administration, external communication from federal health agencies has gone dark, authors say.

Authors: H5N1 virus has potential to cause serious illness, but communication and guidance from the CDC about highly pathogenic avian flu is now arrested.

Writers: We must ask if the limits, even short-term, endanger American lives.

The federal Vaccine for Children Program just celebrated its 30th year and has prevented 32 million hospitalizations,1,290,000 deaths and $540 billion in direct costs.

Despite all this, some vaccine-related information has disappeared from CDC websites, too.

Curtailing CDC communication with the public will only put us at risk for the looming public health threats.
