The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has developed the Immunisation Guidelines for Ireland. The guidelines provide up to date and accurate information about vaccines and immunisation for healthcare professionals. They are only available online.
PLEASE NOTE: The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has moved from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland to the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA).
This move means that NIAC’s work has become a statutory function of HIQA. It recognises the critical role NIAC plays as a National Immunisation Technical Advisory Group (NITAG) in providing evidence-based expertise to inform safe and effective immunisation policies.
As Ireland’s NITAG, NIAC will continue to work alongside a network of international member organisations, benefiting from peer-to-peer learning and collaboration at a global level.
NIAC information and resources, including NIAC recommendations and the Immunisation Guidelines for Ireland, are now available at www.hiqa.ie.
Chapters are updated regularly.
Where there is a discrepancy in the recommendations in different chapters, the recommendation in the most recent chapter should be followed.
