> The Ervebo vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective against the more common Zaire strain of Ebola. World Health Organization experts say early evidence, particularly from animal trials, indicates it could also provide some protection against the rarer Bundibugyo strain spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Dr. Paulin Mutombo Beya, deputy director at the Kinshasa School of Public Health, discusses whether the vaccine could soon reach the public.
