DRC: Launch of the Ebola Vaccination Campaign

The Democratic Republic of the Congo launched an Ebola vaccination campaign on Thursday as the country faces the deadliest outbreak in its history. The campaign was officially launched in Kisangani by Health Minister Dr. Samuel-Roger Kamba. The Ervebo vaccine is prioritized for healthcare workers and those who have been in contact with patients, as the outbreak has already resulted in over 2,750 deaths from more than 5,700 confirmed cases.
