Abstract

The ongoing outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa is the largest outbreak ever recorded with a total number of 28,602 confirmed, probable, or suspected cases in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, including 11,301 reported deaths since December 2013 (as of January 17, 2016).1 A meeting convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) in September, 2014, concluded that an urgent unmet need exists for efficacy and safety testing of the EVD vaccine candidates and that clinical trials should be expedited. These vaccines could be used both in an outbreak setting and to provide long-term protection in populations at risk of sporadic outbreaks.
