The Democratic Republic of Congo has begun vaccine trial rollouts for healthcare workers directly involved in combating the country’s ongoing Ebola outbreak. The initiative aims to protect frontline medical staff as they treat infected patients and contain further spread. Authorities are focusing on high-risk areas where transmission remains active, prioritizing those most exposed to the virus. The move follows earlier efforts to deploy experimental vaccines in response to previous Ebola surges in the region.
