NAIROBI, JANUARY 16, 2015(CISA) – The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has insisted that no further mass tetanus vaccination campaigns be done in Kenya until vaccines are proven safe.
This comes in the wake of a recent declaration by a joint committee of experts from the Catholic Church and the Ministry of Health that the vaccine was safe.
The bishops however noted that “only the Catholic Church had collected samples during the actual March and October 2014 tetanus vaccination campaigns”.
The bishops noted that of the nine vials presented by the Catholic Church to the joint committee three tested positive for the birth control substance.
The results of these 40 vials were loaded onto the previously completed results of 19 vials from the joint committee,” added the bishops.
