Three Ebola Vaccines Fast-Tracked as Outbreak Spreads in East Africa
At least three Ebola vaccines are being urgently researched and funded as a rare Bundibugyo strain outbreak spreads across East Africa, with hundreds infected and no approved vaccine for this strain. The outbreak began in eastern DRC's conflict-hit Ituri province and has spread to Uganda. While vaccines exist for the more common Zaire strain, none have been approved for Bundibugyo, prompting accelerated trials.
