This is a timeline of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


Big picture

Year/period Key developments
1950s The survival of CDC as an institution remains initially uncertain. However, two major health crises concerning poliomyelitis and influenza and well managed by CDC in the mid-1950s establishes its credibility and ensures its survival.[1]
1980s " A fatal disease, subsequently named acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), was first mentioned in the June 5, 1981, issue of MMWR. Since then, MMWR has published numerous follow-up articles about AIDS, and one of the largest portions of CDC's budget and staff is assigned to address this disease."[1] Since the 1980s, CDC supports influenza surveillance and laboratory capacity globally.[2]
1990s "The 1990s have been characterized by continuing applications of CDC's classic field-oriented epidemiology, as well as by the development of new methodologies. For example, the disciplines of health economics and decision sciences were merged to create a new area of emphasis -- prevention effectiveness -- as an approach for making more rational choices for public health interventions."[1]
21st century From 2007 to 2016 CDC would respond to over 20 crises each affecting over 10,000 people. From 2011 to 2016, CDC would deploy staff for over 380 missions in more than 40 countries to apply public health principles and epidemiologic science to mitigate the health impacts of complex emergencies.[2] Today, CDC is both the United States prevention agency and a global leader in public health.[1]
