USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has developed a Strategic Framework outlining our approach to fulfill a key charge within the American Rescue Plan Act to better protect people and animals from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The Framework serves as a roadmap to build One Health capacity and strengthen APHIS’ ability to prevent, detect, investigate and respond to SARS-CoV-2 as well as other emerging and zoonotic diseases. Collectively, the key actions within the Framework will enable USDA to build an early warning system to alert public health partners to take steps sooner to potentially prevent or limit the next zoonotic disease outbreak, or the next global pandemic.
We are interested in your feedback on the Strategic Framework and will accept written comments for 45 days via Regulations.gov from Tuesday, August 24 to Friday, October 8, 2021.
APHIS is also hosting a series of webinars to provide more information about the Strategic Framework and answer any questions you may have. Our hope is that this additional information will support your ability to submit written comments.
The format and information shared during each webinar will be identical. Certain webinars are geared toward a specific audience, but you are welcome to join any webinar that best fits your schedule. Each webinar has its own registration link and connection information. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with additional details.
All webinars will be recorded, and the recordings will be accessible from this page.

We’ve reached an inflection point in our fight against COVID-19. New variants have contributed to dramatic increases in cases, and breakthrough infections among those who have been vaccinated threaten to further undermine public confidence. The time for PSAs and “raising awareness” is long past. Those who are not yet vaccinated need more than additional awareness. They need compelling, highly targeted, and persuasive messages that address their specific obstacles to change.
During our new 1-hour digital learning event and Q&A, Rescue Agency Founder and President, Jeffrey Jordan, MA, and Sr. Research Scientist, Carolyn Stalgaitis, MPH, will explore persuasive messaging strategies to reach vaccine-hesitant audiences and best practices in equitable communications to meet and engage specific populations where they are with the right messages.
You’ll learn how to:
Attendance is FREE; however, registration is required to attend and is not guaranteed. Priority is given to individuals in government and non-profit organizations. The webinar is live only, a recording will not be available after.
