Established in 1999, the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety advises the World Health Organization (WHO) on vaccine-related safety issues and enables WHO to respond promptly, efficiently, and with scientific rigor to issues of vaccine safety with potential global importance. The committee also assesses the implications of vaccine safety for practice worldwide and for WHO policies. We describe the principles on which the committee was established, its modus operandi, and the scope of the work undertaken, both present and future. We highlight its recent recommendations on major issues, including the purported link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism and the safety of the mumps, influenza, yellow fever, BCG, and smallpox vaccines as well as that of thiomersal-containing vaccines.
全球疫苗安全咨询委员会成立于1999年，就疫苗相关安全问题向世界卫生组织（世卫组织）提供建议，使世卫组织能够迅速、高效且科学严谨地应对具有潜在全球重要性的疫苗安全问题。该委员会还评估疫苗安全对全球疫苗接种实践以及世卫组织政策的影响。我们阐述了委员会成立所依据的原则、运作方式以及当前和未来所开展工作的范围。我们着重介绍了其近期就重大问题提出的建议，包括麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗与自闭症之间所谓的联系，以及腮腺炎、流感、黄热病、卡介苗和天花疫苗以及含硫柳汞疫苗的安全性。
