the advisory said.<\/p>\n<p>CBC or full blood exam is a laboratory test that gives information about the cells in the blood of the person including concentration of various proteins and minerals.<\/p>\n<p>Janairo said it is important to check the number red blood cells for those who will undergo the procedures that in case a disease will be detected after the circumcision or tooth extraction, physicians have a baseline data to look into.<\/p>\n<p>To date, he said there were 22 cases of leukemia in the region recorded among those who were vaccinated perceived to be &#8220;potentially-related&#8221;
