Our efforts to stop this study opened the way for vaccines to reach these children a year earlier than planned. We will continue to support efforts to see every newborn in Guinea-Bissau vaccinated at birth against Hep B, as soon as possible.

Our International branch will continue to be a watchdog monitoring and stopping the use of pseudoscientific exploitation of vulnerable populations around the world. We will continue to work with Congress to investigate the US’s involvement in this situation.
