Dr. Rochelle Walensky is stepping down as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the nation's progress in coping with COVID-19. Walensky, who will officially leave her office on June 30, was known for leading the CDC with "science and dignity" and trying to depoliticize the agency. During her tenure, the agency administered 670 million COVID-19 vaccines and saved and improved lives. President Biden has not yet named a replacement.
