AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Vaccine Trial Cancelled: Guinea-Bissau has scrapped a US-funded hepatitis B study involving 14,000 newborns after criticism that it would delay vaccination for half the babies, despite WHO advice to give the shot at birth. The government said it had not authorised the study, and police seized vaccine supplies from the research centre. Experts warned the delay could leave infants exposed in a country where nearly one in five people has hepatitis B.
