Guinea-Bissau’s health minister said Tuesday that the government had not authorized a controversial Danish-led hepatitis B vaccine study involving newborns.
The proposed research would receive funding from the US government and private partners. Rather than assess vaccine safety or effectiveness, it would track broader health outcomes, including overall mortality and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US secretary of Health and Human Services and a longtime anti-vaccine activist, has championed the study.
