Uncertain. Previous statements by the HHS seem to indicate the program would continue (see Tirumalai Kamala's answer) but the latest announcement from the HHS (1/22/2018) indicate otherwise (emphasis mine)[1][1][1][1]DC will continue minimal support to protect the health and well-being of US citizens here and abroad through a significantly reduced capacity to respond to outbreak investigations, processing of laboratory samples, and maintaining the agency’s 24/7 emergency operations center. CDC will also ensure that staff that are currently supporting the ongoing hurricane response will continue their important work to respond to immediate and ongoing public health needs in the affected areas. CDC would also continue World Trade Center Health Program and certain childhood obesity activities, which are supported through mandatory funding, and CDC would continue activities supported with funding not affected by the lapse in appropriations, such as: U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), CDC’s Global AIDS program, the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, certain asbestos exposure in Libby, Montana, Ebola response and preparedness, and Global Health Security Agenda implementation.Some programs like the global AIDS monitoring initiative PEPFAR are funded outside the normal budget process and will continue in full.[2][2][2][2]In general, the shutdown has been very chaotic in comparison to previous ones and nobody knows what is going onFrom an interview with Pam Gilbertz of the CDC on 1/21/2018[3][3][3][3]MARTIN: Is it clear who in your agency has to work and who doesn't?GILBERTZ: It is not clear to most of us. All we know is that each individual employee got a letter by email from HHS. I haven't even seen my letter yet because I have not logged into CDC email since Friday afternoon, but I have been told that the emails went out overnight, and those emails from HHS told each individual employee how they had been categorized.MARTIN: And we'd like you to know that we reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services to ask how they spoke to their employees about the shutdown. We haven't heard back.The HHS email went out at around 7 pm Friday to the government email account along with a request for a non-government email. Since checking government email is forbidden for furloughed employees,[4][4][4][4] its not clear how people are supposed to know.The statement from Mulvaney hasn’t really clear things up[5][5][5][5][E]ither you were exempt and you were to come to work either today or Monday, depending on your ordinary work schedule; you were absolutely furloughed, in which case you were not to come to work beginning today and going over to Monday; or there’s actually another group of people that would show up for a few hours on Monday or today, up to four hours, in order to close down shop or prepare for the lapse. So those notices went out today (Friday night)Why is this statement not clear?There are three classes of employees in a shutdownEssential and not furloughed due to your job role (military, most law enforcement, clinical doctors, senior officials etc)Not essential and furloughedNot essential but needed to keep the place running and therefore not furloughedIn previous situations, the designation of employees needed to keep he place running was made about a week in advance. There was no department wide guidance at all in this shutdown from the HHS.Disclaimer: These answer is my own and does not reflect the views of the HHS, the federal government, or anyone except myselfFootnotes[1] FY 2018 HHS Contingency Staffing Plan for Operations[1] FY 2018 HHS Contingency Staffing Plan for Operations[1] FY 2018 HHS Contingency Staffing Plan for Operations[1] FY 2018 HHS Contingency Staffing Plan for Operations[2] How the U.S. Government Shutdown Could Impact Science[2] How the U.S. Government Shutdown Could Impact Science[2] How the U.S. Government Shutdown Could Impact Science[2] How the U.S. Government Shutdown Could Impact Science[3] For Federal Employees On Furlough During Shutdown, An Uncertain Future[3] For Federal Employees On Furlough During Shutdown, An Uncertain Future[3] For Federal Employees On Furlough During Shutdown, An Uncertain Future[3] For Federal Employees On Furlough During Shutdown, An Uncertain Future[4] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[4] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[4] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[4] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[5] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[5] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[5] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends[5] If the shutdown continues, feds should report to work on Monday, but after that it depends
