The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has announced a public meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) scheduled for January 27, 2021. The meeting will discuss COVID-19 vaccines and other topics, and will be live-streamed online. The public is encouraged to submit written comments by January 27 and may request to deliver oral comments during the meeting. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, less than the usual 15 days' notice is being given for this event.
Simple Explanation
The government is having a special meeting online to talk about vaccines for a virus called COVID-19, and they want people to send their thoughts by mail or online; however, there's not a lot of time to join in and they have a limited way to say how people are picked to speak during the meeting.
