More than 1,000 people have died in the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the Africa CDC. Health officials warned that the outbreak, driven by the Bundibugyo virus, is spreading faster than response efforts amid conflict, community resistance, funding shortages and the absence of approved vaccines or treatments

The vaccine has been approved for individuals aged between 4 and 60 years and can be administered irrespective of whether a person has previously been infected with dengue
