Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee

horizontal rule

March 10, 2000 Meeting

Important Notice

The meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, scheduled for March 9 and 10 at the Holiday Inn, Silver Spring, has been scaled back.

The meeting will now be held only on Friday, March 10, beginning at 12 noon. The advisory committee will participate from their various institutions by teleconference. Because this is an open meeting, the teleconference will originate at the Holiday Inn, Silver Spring so that the public can attend at the hotel.

The agenda has been scaled back to two topics: the completion of formulation of the influenza virus vaccine for the 2000-2001 season, and a briefing on the vaccine safety action plan. Open public hearings are included in the agenda.

Questions should be directed to the meeting contacts, Nancy Cherry or Denise Royster, on 301-827-0314.
