Battling Disease Outbreaks in the Big Apple." Mr. Harper is stationed at the
New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene and currently leads surveillance and response activities for influenza,
zoonotic, and vectorborne diseases. The posting discusses New York City's most recent
disease importation that came in the form of pandemic
H1N1 Influenza in 2009-10. It makes interesting reading and gives you an idea what life as a CEFO is like. Hope you find it as interesting as I did.
