Congo launches Ebola vaccinations to combat worst outbreak

Congo has launched a vaccination campaign in Kisangani to combat its deadliest Ebola outbreak, affecting six provinces and resulting in over 5,700 confirmed cases and nearly 2,700 deaths. The Ervebo vaccine is being administered primarily to frontline health workers and those in contact with patients under a compassionate-use program, despite being approved for a different Ebola strain. The outbreak's severity is exacerbated by insecurity, displacement, and health worker strikes, with WHO warning it may surpass the deadliest outbreak on record.
