Money that had been allocated to state and community health departments and other groups for COVID-19 response is being cancelled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The cancellation of $11.4 billion in grants awarded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, first reported by NBC News, is the latest in a series of funding cuts that have been implemented at federal health agencies by the Trump administration since January. The funds were primarily being used by states to support COVID testing and vaccination, as well as an initiative to put more trained community health workers in communities that have been most affected by COVID-19 and an effort to address COVID-19 health disparities.

Termination notices began on March 24, according to an official with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
