AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoVaccine Inquiry: Guinea-Bissau’s judicial police searched the Bandim Health Project and seized hepatitis B vaccine doses as part of an investigation into their circumstances. Police stressed that the seizure alone does not indicate any problem with vaccine quality, safety or effectiveness. Trial Status: Health Minister Quinhin Nantote says the government has not authorized the disputed newborn study, which would delay the birth dose for some infants to compare health outcomes. The proposed trial has drawn ethical criticism because hepatitis B is common in Guinea-Bissau and can cause liver disease and cancer.
