Fight against Ebola in DRC: the international community accelerates the search for a vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain

The international community is ramping up efforts to develop a vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus as the 17th epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo spreads. Dr. Jean Kaseya, director of Africa CDC, announced that three vaccines are under development, but none will be available for four to five months. He also condemned the global inequality in responses to health crises, emphasizing that Africa needs to strengthen its capacity to produce its own vaccines.
