Vivek Murthy confirmed as surgeon general
By Jordain Carney - 03/23/21 06:35 PM EDT

The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Vivek Murthy to be President Biden's surgeon general, handing the administration one of its top public health officials amid the coronavirus pandemic.

   Senators voted 57-43 to confirm Murthy, with seven Republicans supporting his nomination.

Murthy previously served as surgeon general under the Obama administration but was fired by former President Trump in 2017.
