Abstract

An in-person 1.5 day workshop at the end of Phase 1 brings together NITAG members, along with other key stakeholders such as the national immunization program, WHO and UNICEF, to adapt the framework to country context and develop a comprehensive plan for evidence collection. The NITAG Chair may decide–depending on the NITAG’s standard operating procedures–to allow virtual participation for those who are not able to attend in-person due to budget or time limitations.

Facilitated by the NITAG Chair and supported by the core team, this workshop serves several purposes:

  • Defining the list of vaccines to be considered for the prioritization exercise,
  • Defining the timeframe to be considered for the prioritization exercise,
  • Selecting criteria to use to compare vaccines,and
  • Determining a weighting scheme for the selected criteria to guide decision-making
  • Presentation
