Vaccine Safety Templates

Vaccine templates serve as standardized tools that incorporate essential factors for conducting a risk/benefit assessment of new vaccine candidates. Their primary objectives are:

  • To facilitate communication of otherwise complex and highly technical data among key stakeholders and increase the transparency, comparability, and comprehension of essential information.
  • To offer a practical checklist-like resource for effectively managing potential complex risks.
  • To focus on key questions related to the essential safety and benefit-risk issues relevant for the intrinsic properties of the vaccine components. Below, you will find a comprehensive list of available standardized templates, as well as a selection of completed templates that have been utilized.

These have been developed with the collaboration of the Brighton Collaboration BRAVATO Working Group.
