NITAGs

NITAGs are important to national ownership of immunisation programmes and WHO Immunization Agenda 2030 goals. NITAGs develop recommendations by reviewing evidence and applying it to local epidemiological and social contexts. NITAG members should be independent from conflicts of interest and protected from government or political influence. NITAG members are generally appointed by a country's Ministry of Health or National Department of Health. NITAGs are multidisciplinary national expert bodies that provide independent, transparent, evidence-based immunisation recommendations to policymakers and programme managers.
