National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC)

Update from NIAC

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 on the HIQA website.
