#CDC has scheduled an emergency meeting of #ACIP for Dec. 1 to vote on which groups of Americans should receive the limited initial doses of the #COVID19 #vaccines once those products are cleared for the U.S. market.
On Dec. 1, #CDC's #ACIP is expected to vote on whether the 21 million U.S. healthcare personnel & 1.3 million residents of long-term care facilities should be first in line for the #COVID19 shots — phase 1a of the vaccination program.
If both the $PFE - $BNTX and $MRNA-NIAID #COVID19 #vaccines are granted EUAs in December, there are expected to be only enough doses by the end of 2020 to vaccinate about 20 million people in the U.S., with more doses not coming for the other 310 million Americans until later.

2020 was a year of historic significance. A global pandemic. Economic hardship. Racial reckoning.

But it’s in these moments of consequence that we’re reminded govt *does* have a role to play. We need good public policy that actually *helps* people.

So what comes next? (Thread—)
First and foremost in my mind: we need policies that support our working families — who are struggling to keep their heads above water just trying to make it work. Particularly working parents.
And being hit the hardest right now? Working moms—who are having to take on so much all at once. So much that too many are finding it impossible to keep their balance, much less “lean in.” That’s why many are dropping out of the workforce. We must fix this.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/bus…
