Birth control hormone found in third world tetanus vaccine

Catholic News Service 19 January 2015

Kenya's bishops have insisted that no further mass tetanus vaccination campaigns should take place until the "vaccines have been appropriately tested and proven to be safe."

The January 14th statement signed by all of the Kenyan bishops followed a recent report that one third of the vials of a tetanus vaccine tested contained a hormone linked to birth control. At the direction of the bishops, the vials were tested at five different laboratories in Kenya.
