Summary of Discussion: Immunization policy decision making in Canada
Potential conflicts of interest in vaccine research can lead to negative consequences that undermine public trust and thereby put communities at risk. However, collaborations that may give rise to potential conflicts between interests can also greatly facilitate appropriate, scientifically robust, and timely vaccine development, implementation, and evaluation.
Commentary: Is ‘conflict of interest’ a Misnomer?

Report: Canadian Research Priorities for Pertussis Immunization in Pregnancy Survey
Pertussis immunization in pregnancy is currently thought to be the most effective way of protecting young infants (<3 months of age) against pertussis, in conjunction with an immunization program for children.
The PIPER (Progressing Immunization in Pregnancy Evaluation and Research) Group was established to bring together individuals with expertise and/or interest in this area and to develop a cohesive roadmap for evaluation and research on immunization in pregnancy in Canada.
