Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC)

The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) is a group of independent experts that advises the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They review scientific data about vaccines and other biological products to ensure they are safe, effective, and of high quality. Before the FDA approves or updates a vaccine, VRBPAC evaluates the evidence and provides recommendations. Their work helps protect public health by guiding sound decision-making on vaccine approval and use, ensuring that vaccines meet rigorous standards before reaching the public.
