Ebola vaccines

Ebola vaccines are designed to protect against the Ebola virus, which causes severe illness and can be fatal. The most developed vaccines, like rVSV-ZEBOV, work by introducing a harmless part of the virus to the immune system, stimulating it to recognize and fight the actual virus if encountered. These vaccines have been successfully used in outbreak responses, reducing the spread and impact of the disease. Ongoing research is aimed at improving vaccine options and coverage, especially in high-risk areas to ensure better preparedness against future outbreaks.
