From vaccines to fluoride, here's what the newly confirmed CDC director Susan Monarez has said about some key health topics.

Susan Monarez is the first director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to require Senate confirmation. She's also the first director without a medical degree in more than 70 years.

The Senate voted 51-47 to confirm Monarez on Tuesday. Both Georgia Senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, voted no. This is the first Senate confirmation vote for the CDC Director. Prior to 2023, the position did not require Senate approval.
