<p>At a confirmation hearing Wednesday, President Donald Trump's pick for the director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Susan Monarez, faced questions about her stance on vaccines -- after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has recently made controversial choices dealing with vaccines.</p>
<p>Monarez was clear in her support for vaccines.</p>
<p>"I think vaccines save lives. I think that we need to continue to support the promotion of utilization of vaccines," Monarez said.</p>

<p>Her comments came as she was asked by Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders about a recent decision reported by POLITICO that Kennedy has decided to end U.S. funding for a global vaccine alliance, Gavi.</p>
<p>"I wasn't involved in that decision making. If I'm confirmed as a CDC director, I will certainly look into it, and I'm happy to follow up with you," Monarez said.</p>
