Russia Possesses Ebola Vaccine Developments for New Strain: Health Minister"Russia is probably the only country that [...] has so-called canned vaccines* in its arsenal. We also have developments already underway for a new strain of Ebola vaccine," Mikhail Murashko said. On May 17, the WHO declared the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda caused by the Bundibugyo virus a public health emergency of international concern. *Canned vaccines are pre-developed, stockpiled vaccine candidates designed to target a specific list of potential pandemic pathogens. ℹ They can be rapidly deployed, adapted, or mass-produced within weeks should an outbreak occur.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
