Evidence to Recommendations Frameworks

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).
