Article Synopsis
- Regulatory agencies and NITAGs evaluate the balance of vaccine benefits and harms, with DQCs (direct quantitative comparisons) being used to support decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The study reviewed 23 publications where DQCs were utilized, revealing their role in various situations, such as new safety signals and changing vaccine contexts.
- While DQCs provided timely and transparent communication, their reliance on assumptions made them sensitive to changes and limited their applicability to different contexts, especially in the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation.
