Systematic Reviews Of Scientific Evidence On Vaccines And Capacity Building Activities for the EU Commission’s Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA). This funded project supports the activities of the EU/EEA National Immunisation Technical Advisory Groups’ (NITAGs) in their decision-making on national vaccination programmes, including COVID-19 vaccines.
The consortium includes Cochrane Germany, Cochrane Austria, Cochrane Ireland, the Robert Koch Insitut and PWC. Cochrane Ireland, through the University of Galway, was awarded €410,000 over 4 years to lead on (a) four evidence syntheses in the area of vaccines and EU/EEA vaccination programmes, and (b) developing and delivering an online training program on methodologies for assessing evidence and carrying out reviews, synthesis and evaluations and subsequent transformation into technical documents/guidance.
