Merck and Wellcome-backed Hilleman will manufacture Bundibugyo Ebola vaccine doses for clinical trials with up to $8.5M in CEPI funding.

The University of Oxford has already vaccinated its first clinical-trial participant. The study’s lead scientist Teresa Lambe tells Nature how they were able to move so fast.

The Singapore-based Hilleman Laboratories announced it would advance the rVSV Bundibugyo jab so it can be tested on humans during clinical trials.
