  1. UK Vaccination Programme- Risk and Reward Working Party: Monica Cornall Jan Sparks Margaret Chan Anita Barker

  2. Terms of Reference “Our aim is to investigate, and hence stimulate informed debate and possible further studies, on the balance between risk and reward inherent in the current UK vaccination program from an independent statistically informed viewpoint. We do not aim to carry out any new investigations or studies but to interpret and assimilate existing data and studies. As part of our fact-finding we will try to discover whether any organisation currently monitors the trade-off between risk and reward, and what mathematical or statistical models are used.”
