    Updated May 17, 2022

    As the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, considerable progress has been made. We now have more tools than ever to prevent COVID-19 from placing strain on communities and healthcare systems. With current high levels of vaccination and high levels of population immunity from both vaccination and previous infections, the risk of medically significant disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 is greatly reduced for most people (see more on COVID-19 Community Levels). It remains important to collect data-driven information on key priority areas that can help CDC and public health partners continue to fill critical scientific gaps, build on knowledge gained and advances made, and inform evidence-based decision-making for continued intervention through public health surveillance and epidemiologic research.

    CDC has developed priority questions around 8 thematic topic areas for The CDC Public Health Science Agenda for COVID-19:

    • Health equity

    • Vaccines

    • Variants

    • Prevention strategies

    • Testing

    • Treatment

    • Natural history, transmission, breakthrough infections, and reinfections

    • Post-COVID conditions and other health impacts
