The VBD National Strategy is the largest formal federal coordination focused on VBD prevention and control. The VBD National Strategy was co-led by the U.S. Department the Health and Human Services and CDC and developed in collaboration with six federal departments and the Environmental Protection Agency.
In December 2019, the Kay Hagan Tick Act was signed into law authorizing activities to prevent and control VBDs. This included developing a national strategy to expand upon a framework published in September 2020, titled National Public Health Framework for the Prevention and Control of Vector-Borne Diseases in Humans. The VBD National Strategy builds upon the framework.
