The Democratic Republic of Congo initiated an Ebola vaccination campaign on Thursday to combat the country's deadliest outbreak of the disease on record 1. Health Minister Roger Kamba announced the launch of the immunization drive in Kisangani, Tshopo province, prioritizing frontline healthcare workers and individuals who have been in contact with patients 1. As of Tuesday, the epidemic has spread across six provinces—Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tshopo, Haut-Uele, and Bas-Uele—resulting in 5,713 confirmed cases and 2,744 deaths, yielding a case fatality rate of approximately 48% 1.
The vaccination effort will utilize the Ervebo vaccine, which is officially approved for the prevention of the Zaire ebolavirus, while its protective efficacy against the Bundibugyo strain causing the current outbreak remains under investigation 1.
