Delayed Deployment of Effective Ebola Vaccine

Despite being developed in 2006 and tested in 2011, a promising Ebola vaccine has not been widely deployed, leaving a gap in the fight against Ebola outbreaks. This delay has resulted in continued vulnerability to outbreaks. The current Bundibugyo outbreak in Congo highlights the need for rapid deployment of effective vaccines. Existing challenges include regulatory, funding, or logistical hurdles.
