Senate Confirms Erica Schwartz as CDC Director

The CDC is a group that helps keep people healthy and safe from diseases.

The Senate is like a big team of grown-ups who decide if important people can get certain jobs.

A woman named Erica Schwartz just got a big new job leading the CDC.

Many people in the Senate voted for her — 51 said yes and 44 said no.

She is the third person that the president's team asked to take this job.

Almost all the people in one group, called Republicans, voted yes for her.

Only one person in the other group, called Democrats, voted yes.

Now she will be the permanent leader of the CDC, which had been without one for almost a year.
