The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety was established at WHO in 1999 "to respond promptly, efficiently, and with scientific rigour to vaccine safety issues of global importance." The site contains Q&As, policy statements, and links to studies on a wide variety of issues like thiomersal, smallpox vaccination, and evidence (or lack of evidence) of links between specific vaccines and health problems. Also linked to on the site are committee meeting reports.
