As set out in the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) Code of Practice, the JCVI will consider the advice of the Sub-committee and may decide to issue an interim statement for a short period of consultation with those stakeholders who submitted evidence that informed the Committee’s advice.
