Populations Addressed in Vaccines Approved via the European Medicines Agency
Therapeutic and prophylactic agents require robust evidence before patient use. Randomized controlled trials are essential for evaluating safety and efficacy but often exclude specific populations that are also targets for the intervention. This study assessed which populations are included in vaccine registration studies and/or addressed in label ...
