The United Kingdom Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
The United Kingdom Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation provides advice to the Ministers of Health on all aspects of vaccination. Under recent legislation a recommendation from the Committee confers the right to the vaccine concerned to the population of England Wales. A critical aspect of both advice and recommendations is that the vaccination is shown to reach a cost-effectiveness threshold. This usually requires sophisticated mathematical modelling and economics.
