🤔 Why do vaccine recommendations differ from country to country – even when the evidence is the same? Because evidence has to be translated into a national context. Germany’s STIKO considers not only efficacy and safety, but also different aspects of public-health. #episky 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.la...
