Despite almost losing measles elimination status and a current threat from a novel coronavirus, more US states are prepared to handle a public health threat this year than last year, according to a new report card from Trust for America’s Health (TFAH), a Washington, D.C.–based health advocacy group.
TFAH published their annual “Ready or Not” report card this week, and placed 25 states and the District of Colombia—compared to 2018’s 17 states—in a high preparedness performance tier. Twelve states were placed
