Overall: 
Thank you for this very useful article. Points: (1) I think that any hook on this subject would currently be of great public interest, so it is probably best to keep it as simple and bland as possible, so as to avoid controversy. In that context ALT0 looks fine to me, so I suggest that you don't change it. (2) I have copyedited some awkward prose: a minor edit which should not affect this DYK review. However please check carefully that I have not changed the intended meaning. (3) There is just one issue: plagiarism. Please rephrase OR present as a quotation: "rigorously and transparently reviews the latest knowledge," and "in any capacity or in any forum". (4) The QPQ has been done.

Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, but it doesn't accurately reflect the source. I changed the sentence in the article to: It also monitors the clinical testing of new vaccines and their use in immunization programs.
Personally, I think the hook is pretty dull. A hook using that term vaccine hesitancy sounds like a better option. Yoninah (talk) 19:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Thankyou @Yoninah: and @Storye book:... Added some additional information. Maybe a passer-by might have thoughts. How is ALT1? Whispyhistory (talk) 12:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that this committee has been checking rapidly developing COVID-19 vaccines on a background of growing misinformation and vaccine hesitancy? ...COVID-19 vaccines are being developed at an unprecedented speed...GACVS...provide independent, authoritative, scientific advice to the World Health Organization (WHO) on vaccine safety issues of global or regional concern. In May 2020, the Committee focussed on COVID-19 and discussed potential safety issues that may arise with the new vaccines being developed and deployed under the emergency conditions...and... at a time when vaccine hesitancy and misinformation are growing challenges.

- Confirming green tick for ALT1. Thank you, Whispyhistory and Yoninah. Storye book (talk) 12:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

- Good. Could someone please give it the green tick, then, please, because I'm not allowed to approve it myself, having written it out. Thanks. Storye book (talk) 20:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Storye book: "Writing it out" does not remove you from approving it. Adding new facts to a hook does. I'm replacing your tick and promoting it, because it's just a simple addition of a few words that also happen to be in the group's name. Yoninah (talk) 20:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
