Contagion Movie: Fact and Fiction in Film
The CDC leads U.S. national health security. CDC works 24/7 to save lives and protect people from health threats here and around the world, including contagious disease outbreaks.
In the last two years, CDC has sent scientists and doctors out more than 750 times to respond to health threats. A new movie called Contagion is showing on screens nationwide. Parts of the movie were filmed at CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and CDC scientists were consulted for their help in making the movie as scientifically accurate as possible. While the movie is a work of fiction, the real-life stories of CDC’s elite Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) are just as exciting as the story on the screen. Check out the links below to learn more about the work of a real-life disease detective, why CDC works globally to keep Americans safe at home, work and play, and what you can do to protect yourself, your family and your community.
