Rationale 1: Telling parents not to worry and that the CDC has everything under control is non-therapeutic and condescending information.
Rationale 2: Phone lines to the CDC would be overwhelmed during an attack, so calling them would elicit no information.
Rationale 3: One of the roles of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to publicize recommendations for immunizations.
Rationale 4: Telling the parents that nothing can be done is not true and would leave the parents feeling very powerless.
