At its April 2010 meeting, WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization reviewed the latest data on pandemic influenza A (H1N1) vaccines, concluding that its previous recommendations on priority target groups and number of doses still stand. The Committee endorsed plans to revise recommendations on H5N1 vaccines in view of evidence gathered during the H1N1 pandemic and approved the updating of a WHO position paper on seasonal influenza vaccination.
Other recommendations made during the meeting included the need for robust and independent oversight of the new strategic plan on polio eradication and continued vigilance in ensuring high coverage with pertussis-containing vaccines.
