Ugandan authorities have initiated a clinical trial for a vaccine targeting the Sudan strain of Ebola following the recent outbreak that claimed one life. This trial, the first of its kind, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the vaccine against the Sudan strain, as confirmed by the World Health Organization Director-General.
The study is focusing on health workers and individuals exposed to the Ebola strain, with the trial commencing shortly after the death of a nurse in Kampala. Two additional cases were reported in relatives of the initial victim, prompting swift action from health officials.
