The first clinical trial for an Ebola vaccine in the Democratic Republic of Congo's worst-ever outbreak began on Friday, according to the head of the World Health Organization. The trial, named Tumaini—meaning “hope” in Swahili—will assess vaccine candidates designed to protect against the Bundibugyo virus, for which no approved vaccine currently exists.
The launch of the trial coincides with the outbreak surpassing the 9,700-case mark. The death toll from the ongoing health crisis has exceeded 4,600 fatalities.
