vCJD Countries of Risk v2.0, February 2016 – Table Detailing Changes from
v1.3
v1.3
Revised language in v2.0
Rationale
Version 1.3 did not use a stand-alone
list for the donors to reference.
Donors and historians were referred
to the relevant FDA Guidance.
Version 2.0 provides the
newly created list, in addition
to an updated FDA Guidance
reference.
List developed using current
geo-political names to
prevent confusion.
UPDATED DRAFT
List of Countries reflects
current geo-political names.
The list was revised to be
consistent with information
provided in the January 2016
vCJD guidance except that
the List updates FDA’s
information by removing a
reference to the former
Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia and replacing it
with Kosovo,
Montenegro, Serbia which
are the current geo-political
names that are not included
in the guidance.
Revised in FDA review
Added Yugoslavia (or the
former Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia)
Addition of “Yugoslavia (or
the former Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia)” will capture
risk for donors whether
recalling the area as
Yugoslavia, Kosovo,
Montenegro, or Serbia.
