Who decides vaccine programmes?
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is an independent expert advisory committee that provides recommendations on vaccination programmes in the UK. Their advice is based on scientific evidence and public health needs, guiding decisions made by NHS England and other health departments. This ensures programmes are effective and safe.
