美国参议院周三确认埃丽卡·施瓦茨博士出任美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）主任，这将使疾控中心迎来近一年来首位正式任命的主任。
施瓦茨以51票赞成、44票反对的投票结果于周三获得确认。自2025年8月底前疾控中心主任苏珊·莫纳雷斯上任仅29天就被解职以来，该机构一直没有经过参议院确认的正式主任。美国国立卫生研究院主任杰伊·巴塔查里亚自今年2月起同时担任疾控中心代理主任。
施瓦茨是退役海军少将，曾任美国副卫生部长，拥有丰富的监管美国海岸警卫队医疗系统的经验。
根据美国国土安全部的信息，她拥有布朗大学生物医学工程学士学位、布朗大学医学博士学位以及马里兰大学法学学位。她曾参与应对多场疫情，包括埃博拉和甲型H1N1流感暴发。
施瓦茨将成为执掌疾控中心的首位黑人女性。
她的前任莫纳雷斯作证称，她被该机构解雇是因为拒绝遵循美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的疫苗建议，她表示这些建议没有科学依据。
施瓦茨上任之际，非洲埃博拉疫情引发担忧，同时特朗普政府的疫苗推荐政策也面临批评。

Senate confirms Erica Schwartz as CDC director

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, giving the CDC its first official director in nearly a year.
Schwartz was confirmed Wednesday by a vote of 51 to 44. The CDC has been without a Senate-confirmed director since late August 2025, when former director Susan Monarez was ousted just 29 days into the job. National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya had also been serving as acting CDC director since February.
Schwartz, a retired Navy rear admiral, is a former deputy surgeon general with extensive experience overseeing the U.S. Coast Guard’s health care system.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from Brown University, an M.D. from Brown University, and a law degree from the University of Maryland. She has experience responding to pandemics, including outbreaks of Ebola and H1N1, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Schwartz will be the first Black woman to run the CDC.
Monarez, her predecessor, testified that she was pushed out of the agency because she declined to follow Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine recommendations, which she said were not based on science.
Schwartz enters the job amid concerns about the Ebola outbreak in Africa, and as the Trump administration faces criticism over vaccine recommendations.
