## Subcommittee on Vaccine Safety Subcommittee on Public Communication, Consultation and Participation

- June7, 2007

## Agenda

- Update on ISO reseach agenda development and NVAC role in external review
- Karen Broder
- Public input: Lessons learned  -
- Kristin Pope
- Research on public perception and input
- Deb Gust
- Citizen and stakeholder engagement in research on vaccine safety

## Institute of Medicine (IOM) Review and Recommendation for ISO Research Agenda 

- In February 2005, IOM released its review and recommendations in the report, “Vaccine Safety Research, Data Access, and Public Trust”*
- IOM Recommended “a subcommittee of NVAC [National Vaccine Advisory Committee] that includes representatives of a wide variety of stakeholders review and provide advice...on the VSD [Vaccine Safety Datalink] research plan”
- Meetings should be public

## CDC’s Response to IOM Recommendation for Research Agenda Development

- ISO seeks to develop a comprehensive scientifically robust ISO research agenda with extensive internal and external input
- Because of ISO’s focus on integration of research across the office’s components, the scope will include the full ISO research agenda, including VSD, as recommended by IOM
- 3-to-5 year horizon

## Overview of Research Agenda Development

- Coordinated 3-phase development process with extensive internal and external input
- ISO/CDC develops draft research agenda
- NVAC facilitates scientific review
- ISO/CDC responds to feedback from NVAC process and finalizes agenda
- Evaluate research agenda development process

## Proposed Development Process

## Proposed Agenda Development Process

**(A)  External expert consultants; different disciplines ****Completed 5/11/07, pending report****               **

**(B) CDC Immunization Experts and Stakeholders**
**Scheduled to start 6/14/07**

**(C) NVPO Inter-Agency Vaccine Group**
**Scheduled to start 6/18/07**

**(D) DoD Vaccination Programs**

**(E) Professional Organization Representatives and State Health Departments**
**Industry**

## Task: NVAC Scientific Review Constituency 

- What process should NVAC and NVPO use to  implement a scientific review of the draft ISO research agenda in order to provide NVAC recommendations?
- Who should be invited to this review?  Consider immunization safety experts, medical and scientific experts in related disciplines, and key immunization stakeholders

## Task: NVAC Scientific Review Proposed Charge

- Is the proposed charge to the reviewers reasonable?
- Content of the ISO draft research agenda (e.g., are the topics appropriate, what is missing, what topics should be studied by another agency or organization)
- Prioritization of research topics
- Possible barriers to implementing the research agenda and suggestions for addressing them
- Process, e.g., future approach to ISO research agenda development and how often should the NVAC review be done

## Draft Timeline Research Agenda Development: Estimated 18-month Process

- Draft Timeline Research Agenda Development: Estimated _18-month_ Process

## New realities for immunization policy

- “Because the powers granted to public health authorities are based on the public’s trust, and in democratic societies this trust is founded on broad participation in formulating policy, health care decision makers may well feel mounting pressure to include diverse perspectives not only of physicians and policy experts, but also of parent groups, politicians, special- interest advocates, economists and, perhaps, ethicists
- 		Feudiner and Marcuse
- 		Pediatrics, 1991

## What are the goals of public participation?

- Enhance trust
- Ensure transparency
- Input on public values
- Improve quality of decisions

## Next steps

- Develop composition, establish mechanism and nominate members for NVAC scientific review panel
- Safety subcommittee
- Develop clear “terms of reference” - charge to NVAC for desired outcomes of review
- ISO
- Continue to refine public role
- ISO, Safety subcommittee, PCCP subcommittee
- Develop mechanism for industry consultation
- ISO/NVPO
