Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported30m ago
The Democratic Republic of Congo is set to receive 70,000 doses of the Ervebo vaccine to combat an ongoing Ebola outbreak. The World Health Organization is currently allocating these supplies as the country faces its largest recorded epidemic of the virus, which has resulted in nearly 2,500 deaths to date.
The Ervebo vaccine is a licensed preventative measure specifically effective against the Ebola virus. However, medical officials note that the vaccine is not indicated for use against the Bundibugyo virus, another strain capable of causing Ebola disease.
