Ministère de la Santé Publique

PRESS RELEASE

---------------

        The Minister of Public Health informs the public that Cameroon is out of the BCG vaccine, which is the vaccine against tuberculosis.

This situation which dates from the beginning of December 2017, is due to a blockage of orders in the international supply chain for vaccines.

The Minister of Public Health reassures the public that this vaccine will soon be available in all health facilities.

        In addition, Mr. Andre MAMA FOUDA recommends that mothers should limit the contact of newborns with third parties pending the forthcoming supply of the vaccine./-
