> The Democratic Republic of the Congo has received more than 16,000 of 70,000 planned Ervebo vaccine doses as it battles its fastest-moving Ebola outbreak yet. The vaccine protects against the Zaire strain, but no proven vaccine or treatment exists for the Bundibugyo strain driving the outbreak. Nearly 2,500 people have died in three months.
