Guinea-Bissau authorities have seized baby vaccine doses linked to a controversial US study, per RFI. The move has drawn attention from global health organizations.

The vaccines were reportedly part of a program that had been under scrutiny for ethical concerns related to research conducted in the country, Reuters notes.

Regional political tensions are rising as opposition groups voice concern over the government's handling of public health initiatives, according to ACIAfrica.org.
