Public Health Emergency Response (PHER): Purpose The purpose of the PHER grant is to support and enhance the state and local public health infrastructure that is critical to public health preparedness and response, such as strengthening and sustaining the public health workforce; increasing laboratory capacity and capability; strengthening disease surveillance activities; planning and implementing possible large scale mass vaccination activities; developing effective public and risk communication guidance; developing effective community mitigation guidance; purchasing and procuring personal protective equipment, antivirals, and other pandemic related purchases for protecting the public health workforce; training and education of the public health workforce; community and personal preparedness activities; and addressing gaps and other public health preparedness challenges related to public health preparedness and response to an influenza pandemic.
