The Center for Disease Control is holding an ACIP meeting later this month. Written submission of comments was due by June 8th (by counting working days). This is extremely time sensitive. Submitting written comment Today June 10th is still better then not sending any comment at all. As you will have your sent email as proof.
About ACIP Meetings
The Committee meets three times annually at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Meetings are open to the public and available online via webcast. During the meetings, members and CDC staff present findings and discuss vaccine research and scientific data related to vaccine effectiveness and safety, clinical trial results, and manufacturer’s labeling or package insert information. Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease or changes in vaccine supply, such as vaccine shortages, also are reviewed during meetings.
