WHO JE surveillance standards and supporting paper with the evidence and rationale for the Standards
Hills, Susan (CDC/CCID/NCZVED)
As you know, the World Health Organization publishes recommended standards for surveillance of certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The draft World Health Organization surveillance standards for Japanese encephalitis were published in 2006. After a 2-year period of field testing and gathering feedback, a final version was published in 2008. With past WHO standards, there have sometimes been queries about the recommendations made. Therefore, for the JE standards, an accompanying paper to document the evidence, and explain the rationale, for the Standards was prepared. This “Evidence and rationale for the WHO surveillance standards for JE” paper, prepared by several members of the JE core working group, has recently been published. It is attached here, or is available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/9/214. The actual Standards can be found at http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2003/WHO_V&B_03.01.pdf (JE is at the end).
I hope this information is useful.
