Health workers and other front-line workers are being prioritised in the vaccination campaign because of their increased risk of exposure to the virus.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has begun vaccinating people against Ebola as authorities intensify efforts to contain an outbreak that has become the deadliest Ebola outbreak recorded in the country.
Health workers and other front-line workers are being prioritised in the vaccination campaign because of their increased risk of exposure to the virus.
The first injections are being administered to health workers in the Congolese city of Kisangani as health authorities seek to strengthen protection for those working directly with suspected and confirmed cases.
However, the vaccination campaign is being carried out amid uncertainty over the effectiveness of the vaccine against the strain responsible for the current outbreak.
