dr. fauci: it is a pleasure to be with you here this morning. to run through some slides to give you a bit of a background, and then leave it open for discussion on this or anything else you would like to discuss that is related to it. i am going to start off with the concept of pandemic preparedness. , both seasonalza and pandemic, serves as the prototype for pandemic preparedness, even though you can have a pandemic with other types of diseases, usually respiratory diseases that spread the. -- spread rapidly. the thing i would like to discuss is how we separate seasonal and pandemic influenza, but we should think about them as one. hopefully it will become obvious why i say that, and what i show you will hopefully convince you of that. when you look at the artificial separation of seasonal and pandemic influenza, seasonal --luenza is hardly cryptic highly predictable and highly unpredictable. the highly predictable part is that we will have an influence outbreak for certain every single winte

dr. fauci: that is a commonly asked that reasonable question. the agency, the overrating umbrella agency is the department of health and human services. within that, you have the nih, , the secretary for preparedness and response, and other components of hhs. when you think about pandemic preparedness, the cdc, they are the disease detectors. disease -- monetary disease, protect disease. that's why we have the intelligence service that goes out when you have zika or ebola. job is to do the basic and clinical research to understand the disease, describe it, and develop countermeasures, or do the research that allows pharmaceutical companies to ultimately make countermeasures, like do the basic research on vaccines, basic research on therapeutics, basic research on diagnostics, and then collaborate with pharmaceutical that.ies to do the fda is a regulatory agency to make sure all this is done in the appropriate way. it is really quite synergistic. we work very, very closely with the cdc. whenever

dr. fauci, i think everybody on this panel agrees with you when you said we need to get away from the antiquated production model which the egg is and i know the chairman particularly appreciated your slide show. he's new to this subcommittee so he hasn't seen it before and he told me he was a chemistry major so i'm happy to have him to educate me. the -- the recombinant-based vaccine was only 3% last greer what i understand. i'm wondering if you can talk to me what the barriers are for moving from the current methods that we have, the egg-based methods which are used for the majority to this cutting edge vaccine and i'm going to ask everybody else for their opinion, too. >> i think there are a few barriers at least two. one is that there are still scientific challenges to get recombinant dna technology and there are three or four or five in addition to the one that was used in the 3% from protein sciences, the flu block. there are things that are even better than that. so we need -- and that w

dr. shulkin. doctors fauci. >> the outbreak happened when all the kids went back to school in august than july. i happened to know that the chain of camps had doctors and nurses on a public health call comparing notes every day. the reason i know this is because my kid was one of the kids who got sick. did you all go back and make contact with these camps that have been working with the disease all summer in september and october? >> that's not what we do. we do the research. i'm not sure they did because when it started to occur in september we were saying oh my goodness we were hoping this would happen but it happened. i can't speak for what the epidemiologist did. >> that i could ask a follow-up question which is knute briefly describes the role of knight at your agency and cdc and other federal federal agencies that work on these? >> that's, macbeth but totally reasonable question. the overriding umbrella agency the department of health and human services so within the department you have the nih the cdc th
