EBOLA: Vaccine 'ready' for West Africa.

Prof. Adrian Hill

Scientists have announced that an experimental Ebola vaccine is ready to be tested in West Africa after it proved successful in tests on 60 British volunteers.

The £2.8million fast-track trial found the vaccine generated immune responses and boosted levels
of antibodies in the 28 days after vaccination.

Prof Adrian Hill, who led the trial at the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, said:

“The results are very encouraging. We have seen an immune response in the great majority of people receiving the vaccine. Larger trials in West Africa will be able to tell us more.”

The first doses for use in West Africa have already been delivered to Liberia.

Eureka! Some ray of hope for our brothers in Liberia, won't you say!
