Last week Governor Josh Green announced that he will join with 14 other governors in a new alliance to coordinate public health efforts.

The Governors Public Health Alliance will serve as a nonpartisan coordinating hub for governors and their public health leaders to facilitate data sharing, communications about health threat detections, emergency responses, public health guidance, and the deployment of experts.

“Viruses and illnesses don’t stop at state borders and our preparedness shouldn’t either,” Governor Green said. “I am proud to be part of this new effort, giving governors and our public health teams new tools to coordinate and deliver clear, consistent, science­-based guidance to the public at a time when we are facing unprecedented public health challenges.”

States participating in the alliance represent more than 1 in 3 people in the U.S. and have already begun sharing best practices and coordinating executive actions that governors can take to strengthen public health protections, such as directives to preserve access to COVID-19 vaccines.

Other governors joining the alliance include Bob Ferguson of Washington, Maura Healey of Massachusetts, Kathy Hochul of New York, Tina Kotek of Oregon, Ned Lamont of Connecticut, Lou Leon Guerrero of Guam, Dan McKee of Rhode Island, Matt Meyer of Delaware, Wes Moore of Maryland, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Gavin Newsom of California, Jared Polis of Colorado, JB Pritzker of Illinois, and Josh Stein of North Carolina.

The alliance is a joint response to the unraveling of public health policy and routine childhood vaccination programs under U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic, conspiracy theorist, and purveyor of misinformation.

Last month, Kennedy’s new, hand-picked advisory committee to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended against offering parents a combined measles-­mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine before age 4, a move criticized by medical experts for lacking support by scientific evidence and potentially lowering vaccination rates.
