Evidence to Recommendations Frameworks

About

  • The following are the Evidence to Recommendations (EtR) frameworks that describe information considered in moving from evidence to ACIP vaccine recommendations.
  • The purpose of EtR frameworks is to help panels making recommendations move from evidence to decisions, and to provide transparency around the impact of additional factors on deliberations when considering a recommendation.
  • These tables accompany ACIP recommendations published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR).
