Immunisation strategies

However, decisions are usually based on scientific and medical advice from the independent expert group, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

The Committee takes into account a wide range of information such as notifications of disease and epidemiological studies.

Immunisation policy and advice for Wales is communicated to health professionals via Welsh Health Circulars and CMO letters.

Welsh and UK immunisation policy is also contained in the book "Immunisation against infectious disease" (the Green Book):
