AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 minutes ago

Newborn Health: Guinea-Bissau’s government says it has not approved a proposed hepatitis B vaccine trial in newborns, despite reports that the study had received ethics approval. Health Minister Quinhin Nantote said research involving children must meet national laws and international ethical standards; the US health department also says the trial is not approved. The study would enroll 14,000 babies, with half not receiving the birth dose until six weeks. Hepatitis B can pass from mother to child during birth, and the WHO recommends vaccination within 24 hours.
