AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Hepatitis B Trial: Danish researchers are defending a controversial proposed study in Guinea-Bissau that would delay the hepatitis B birth-dose vaccine for half of 14,000 newborns until six weeks of age. The revised protocol has reportedly received ethics approvals, but Health Minister Quinhin Nantote says the government has not authorized the trial. The vaccine has been used safely for decades, and WHO recommends giving it within 24 hours of birth; the study’s disputed status has renewed concerns about infant protection and research oversight.
