Abstract
- The article focuses on the increasing number of reports regarding the infections received from bacteria-tainted shot of Avastin. It says that army veteran Lloyd Sylvis, one of the patients who received the vaccine, has sued the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after claiming that bacteria-tainted bevacizumab has resulted to his blindness and brain damage. Hence, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises that health care professionals must be aware of the vaccines' repackaging.
