Yeah, well, the CDC director had a confirmation hearing this week and hopefully she'll be in place soon. I think she's quite strong and a good pick for the board. This ACIP board isn't fully constituted. There's only seven members on the board. At its peak membership, it has about 15. And you're right, a lot of the people who've been appointed don't have deep experience or any experience, quite frankly, in vaccine science. (06:03–06:12)
