In response to a deadly outbreak of a rare Ebola strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, vaccine development efforts have intensified. More than 1,100 cases have been reported, though the actual spread is feared to be larger. The World Health Organization estimates that a vaccine candidate will be ready for human trials within seven to nine months.

    1. We need to act now to ensure that, once one or more vaccine candidates are ready, manufacturers are in a position to start producing doses at scale.

    1. We have reasons to believe that we can generate effective vaccines, but we don't want to downplay at all that we have to treat them as investigational products.
