Today CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to enhance the inter-agency response to the current investigation into cases of lung injury associated with e-cigarette product use and vaping. bit.ly/34PIfdi
CDC has made it a priority to find what is causing the outbreak of injuries & deaths associated with e-cigarette use and vaping. Activation of CDC’s EOC allows us to enhance operations and support to CDC staff working 24/7 to protect our nation from this serious health threat.
CDC also continues to work closely with @US_FDA to collect information about recent e-cigarette product use/vaping among patients and to test the substances or chemicals within products used by case patients.
While the investigation is ongoing, if individuals are concerned about these specific health risks, they should consider refraining from using e-cigarette and vaping products. bit.ly/34PIfdi
