Prevention and Vaccine Assessment (PAVE)

Prevention and Vaccine Assessment (PAVE) is a process used to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and quality of vaccines before they are approved for public use. It involves thorough review of clinical trial data, manufacturing practices, and ongoing surveillance to ensure vaccines protect individuals and communities without causing undue risks. PAVE helps regulators make informed decisions about which vaccines to recommend, ensuring they meet strict standards for health and safety. Overall, it's a critical step in maintaining public confidence and ensuring vaccines are a trusted tool in disease prevention.
