We build trust in the safety of vaccines through rigorous science.

Brighton Collaboration is a community aiming to promote and improve vaccine safety. We enhance the science of vaccine research by providing standardized, validated, and objective methods for monitoring vaccine safety and benefit-risk profiles.
