STIKO candidates must complete questionnaire
Berlin – Members of the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO) must in future be more transparent about their possible conflicts of interest. For this purpose, they must complete a questionnaire in which they are to list any economic relationships with pharmaceutical companies.
The Federal Ministry of Health has issued a new regulation to this effect. This is intended to make the work of the STIKO more transparent and to strengthen the credibility of its recommendations.
The questionnaire includes questions about consulting and advisory positions, research funding, fees and payments, as well as family relationships with employees of pharmaceutical companies. The STIKO members must also disclose any conflicts of interest of a personal, private or scientific nature.
The STIKO is responsible for issuing recommendations on vaccination in Germany. Its recommendations are based on scientific evidence and are considered to be binding by doctors and vaccination centers. In view of the high public interest in the STIKO’s work, it is important that its members are free from any conflicts of interest.
The new regulation is intended to ensure that STIKO members are independent in their decisions and that their recommendations are based solely on scientific evidence.
