GRADE Evidence Tables - Recommendations in MMWR

The following summarize GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methods and evidence tables that accompany ACIP recommendations published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR).

This standardized and more explicit process for developing ACIP recommendations is expected to enhance transparency, consistency, and communication.
