Ebola's Long Shadow: A Vaccine Rollout in the DRC The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is grappling with its worst ever Ebola outbreak, which has resulted in over 7,500 cases and 3,639 fatalities since May.
In a bid to stem the tide of this devastating epidemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) have launched a vaccine rollout targeting 50,000 health workers.
The Ervebo vaccine, developed for use against the Zaire strain, is being administered under a compassionate use programme.
