"When it comes to Ebola outbreaks, it’s not often we have two pieces of good
news in one week.
First, we heard there’s new funding of up to US$62 million to fast-track the
development of vaccine candidates against the type of virus circulating in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and neighbouring Uganda.
Then, we heard authorities had downgraded the confirmed numbers of Ebola deaths
and cases in the region.
As of June 2 local time, DRC health authorities reported 344 confirmed cases,
including 60 confirmed related deaths. Uganda has reported 15 confirmed cases,
including one death. Previously, suspected cases in the region were more than
1,000.
Here’s what we know about the three vaccine candidates announced this week and
why we still have a long way to go before this concerning outbreak is under
control."
