Canadian Immunization Guide

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) provides the
Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) with ongoing and timely medical,
scientific, and public health advice relating to immunization.

In addition to burden of disease and vaccine characteristics, as of 2019,
PHAC has expanded the mandate of NACI to include the consideration of
programmatic factors in developing evidence-based recommendations
to facilitate timely decision-making for publicly funded vaccine programs
at provincial and territorial levels.

The additional factors to be considered by NACI include: economics,
ethics, equity, feasibility, and acceptability. Not all NACI Statements will
require in-depth analyses of all programmatic factors.

PHAC acknowledges that the advice and recommendations set out in
Advisory Committee Statements are based upon the best current
available scientific knowledge at the time of publication. People
administering vaccines should also be aware of the contents of the
relevant product monographs, which can be found on Health Canada’s
Drug Product Database. NACI recommendations for use and other
information set out within the Statements may differ from that set out in
the product monographs of the Canadian manufacturers of the vaccines.
NACI members and liaison members conduct themselves within the
context of PHAC’s Policy on Conflict of Interest, including yearly
