Abstract

In this paper legal prerequisites for vaccine licensure in Croatia are discussed. The Croatian legislation concerning
vaccine licensing, marketing authorisation and utilization is reviewed. The procedures for including a vaccine into the
Mandatory Childhood Vaccination Programme are also discussed with focus on Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines.
Non-obligatory vaccination recommendations are given when according to professional opinion; vaccination is beneficial
for the vaccinee. There is little doubt that HPV vaccines should be recommended for preadolescent girls in Croatia.
However, reaching a decision on its possible introduction into the Childhood Vaccination Programme will require careful
consideration of the larger picture and a comparison of the cost-effectiveness of a mandatory vaccination against
other competing public health priorities.
