Vaccine Policy Analysis Collaborative

The Keystone Center facilitated a conference jointly sponsored by the Johnson Foundation in Wisconsin and the U.S. Public Health Service Agencies (working through the National Vaccine Program Office) to explore whether and how to enhance public engagement in government decision-making on vaccine policy issues. The resulting Wingspread Public Engagement Planning Group considered the recommendations of its Steering Committee and finalized its best judgment on how to enhance public engagement. The judgment is captured in the proposal to create The Vaccine Policy Analysis CollaborativE (VPACE), a three-year demonstration project designed to conduct dialogue and collaborative deliberations on selected vaccine issues with representative segments of the general public and stakeholder groups.
