US-backed hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau halted after backlash
Published 10 h ago2 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Authorities in Guinea-Bissau seized vaccines linked to a clinical trial that the WHO labeled unethical, involving 14,000 infants where only a subset received the vaccine. The seizure indicates a regulatory crackdown, but the trial's sponsor and the vaccine's nature remain unspecified. This highlights ongoing concerns about research ethics in low-income settings and could affect vaccine trust in the region.
