Protection from Ebola
The premise of the famous epidemic movie Outbreak may soon be a non-issue. Human testing of a Ebola vaccine has started today.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is administering the vaccine to 27 volunteers.
In August, the institute said the same vaccine had worked to protect monkeys from the virus in a single shot.
The virus for one of the world’s most lethal diseases originated in Africa and the US has expressed fears that it could be used as a biological weapon.
