The Institute for Vaccine Safety was established in 1997 at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. Our mission is to independently assess vaccines and vaccine safety to help guide decision makers and educate physicians, the public and the media about key issues surrounding the safety of vaccines. The institute’s goal is to work toward preventing disease using the safest vaccines possible.
In a recently published New England Journal of Medicine commentary, Funding Postauthorization Vaccine-Safety Science, IVS Director, Dr. Daniel Salmon, and co-authors propose amending the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program tax code, further strengthening the vaccine safety system for future routine and pandemic immunizations and rebuilding confidence in the immunization system.
