VSV-Ebola vaccine

The VSV-Ebola vaccine is a specialized shot designed to protect people from Ebola, a severe and often deadly virus. It uses a harmless virus called vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) as a delivery vehicle to introduce a piece of the Ebola virus into the body. This trains the immune system to recognize and fight Ebola if exposed later. The vaccine has shown high effectiveness and is used during outbreaks to prevent the spread of the disease. It provides a crucial tool in controlling Ebola and saving lives in affected regions.
