当地时间周六,一名美国联邦卫生官员向ABC透露,特朗普政府在大规模裁减卫生部门员工的过程中,因“代码错误”向美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC,简称“疾控中心”)关键部门的员工误发了裁员通知。
该官员表示,涉及非洲埃博拉疫情应对及美国本土麻疹疫情应对的工作人员,均在收到误发裁员通知的人群之列。
两名消息人士向ABC透露,负责发布疾控中心每周科学期刊《发病率和死亡率周报》(MMWR)的部门,也有绝大多数员工收到了解雇通知。
而该联邦卫生官员指出,这些员工同样属于被误裁的情况。
《发病率和死亡率周报》被誉为“疾控中心的声音”,在美国全国范围内广受临床医生认可并参考使用,数十年来一直是美国疾控中心的标准科学期刊。
该联邦卫生官员表示,遭误裁的员工“最终”将收到正式通知,撤销对他们的裁员决定,这一过程可能只需几天时间。
据介绍,此次代码错误仅影响了疾控中心内部的4个部门,这意味着美国卫生与公众服务部(HHS)仍将有数百名员工面临失业。
