Consultation period
18 December 2019 to 28 February 2020Background
Submissions are invited from those interested in a new guideline that outlines the technical requirements for the assessment of certain permit applications that are common to a range of veterinary vaccines.
Consultation information
The APVMA is seeking feedback in relation to guidance for Out of Specification (OOS) veterinary vaccine permit applications.
The APVMA administers a permits scheme that allows for the legal use of chemicals in certain ways that are contrary to the label instructions or, in certain circumstances allows for the limited use of an unregistered chemical product. The scheme allows for the legal use of products that may be contrary to the label instructions of a registered vaccine.
The guideline outlines the technical requirements for the assessment of certain permit applications that are common to a range of veterinary vaccines, providing specific examples and associated technical requirements that would facilitate the issuing of a permit with minimal technical assessment whilst ensuring the quality, safety and efficacy of vaccines on the market.
Making a submission
The consultation period is open until close of business on 28 February 2020.
