We have two people available to speak this afternoon. With me is Dr. Anne Schuchat. She is Director of CDCs National Center for Influenza and Respiratory Diseases. Her last name is spelled S-C-H-U-C-H-A-T. And joining us also is Dr. Nancy Cox. Dr. Cox is Director of CDCs Influenza Division.
The way we'll do this, this afternoon is Dr. Schuchat will provide some opening remarks and then we will open up the phone lines for questions. So I will turn it over to Dr. Anne Schuchat.
