Conflict of interests
Any conflict of interests declared by members of JCVI are now published as an annex to the minutes of each JCVI meeting. The JCVI code of practice provides information on how conflicts of interest are managed.
In order to prevent any perceived conflict of interest it was agreed that the JCVI Chair (Professor Andrew Pollard), who is involved in the development of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine at Oxford, would recuse himself from all JCVI COVID-19 meetings.
Minutes
JCVI holds 3 main meetings a year, held on the first Wednesday of February, June and October. The draft minute of each meeting will be uploaded to the JCVI Box account within 6 weeks of the meeting.
