Slovakia launches Covid-19 vaccine probe after DNA contamination findings
A scientific analysis has sparked calls for transparency, independent testing, and a freeze on future vaccine deliveries to Slovakia.
Slovakia has become the first European country to formally investigate claims that Covid-19 vaccines may have been contaminated with “extremely high levels of DNA.”
The move, announced by Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico, follows an independent scientific analysis commissioned abroad.
The report found that vaccine samples used in Slovakia, contained DNA components that the “manufacturer did not disclose” in the relevant regulatory documents.
Its findings, produced by Czech researcher Dr Soňa Peková, landed on Prime Minister Robert Fico’s desk last month and triggered a swift, coordinated government response.
