MANILA, Philippines — The World Health Organization is preparing a new position paper to address the dengue vaccine controversy in the Philippines. One group, according to Weiler, is the global advisory committee on vaccine safety. He said the group reviewed the data last week, and "has published a statement on interpretation of data as of last night." The Department of Health suspended its dengue vaccination program following a disclosure from Sanofi Pasteur that patients not previously infected with dengue risk getting "severe" dengue if infected after vaccination. Aquino approved the vaccination program, which started in April 2016.
