Antibiotics, nation-wide education and programming are all used to reduce the amount of and treat individuals experiencing symptoms often associated with tularemia.

The CDC operates a national program for bioterrorism preparedness and response that incorporates a broad range of public health partnerships. Other things CDC is doing include:

• Coordinating a nation-wide program where states share information about tularemia
• Creating new education tools and programs for health professionals, the public, and the media.
