Draft for public consultation - Blueprint of a framework to rapidly provide scientific evidence on post-marketing vaccination benefits and risk for informed decisions
ECDC launches public consultation on the “Blueprint of a framework to rapidly provide scientific evidence on post-marketing vaccination benefits and risk for informed decisions”. The Blueprint is a result of work of the IMI ADVANCE project and includes a description of components, dependencies, workflows, stakeholder involvement and roles, access to the platform/tools developed and tested as part of the project, the entity (entities) in charge of running the platform/tools, and options for financing to ensure sustainability of the proposed solution.

Executive Summary
NOTE: Deadline for submission of comments is extended until 3 August 2018, 17:30 (Stockholm time)
ECDC has been part of IMI ADVANCE, which is a five-year project that brings together a range of organisations from the public and private sectors to improve benefit and risk assessments of vaccines.
Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing before regulatory approval. However, efforts to monitor the vaccination coverage, benefits and risks of vaccines after approval are fragmented. The ADVANCE (Accelerated development of vaccine benefit-risk collaboration in Europe) project has aimed to review, develop and test methods, data sources and procedures for an efficient and sustainable pan-European framework that can rapidly deliver robust, quantitative data for the assessment of the benefits and risks of marketed vaccines. Such a framework would make it easier for regulators and public health authorities to make fast, more informed decisions regarding vaccination strategies, and help to maintain public confidence in immunisation, particularly when questions are raised about the safety of specific vaccines.
ECDC is leading one of the work packages within the project which focuses on developing a Blueprint for a framework for an integrated EU level vaccine benefit-risk system.
In order to receive comments from the scientific community and other stakeholders, the Blueprint is open for public consultation. Please note that the deadline for submission of comments has been extended until 3 August 2018, 17:30 (Stockholm time)
After commenting on the Blueprint, could you please take part in the short survey on interactive platform linked to the Blueprint: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Survey_on_interactive_platform.
