DR Congo Receives First Evirbo Vaccine

The first batch of the "Eirvibo" vaccine to combat the Ebola outbreak has arrived at N'Gele Airport in Kinshasa. It includes more than 16,000 doses out of the 400,000 requested by the country, amid an outbreak that has resulted in over 2,300 deaths and more than 5,000 infections. The Congolese government is relying on this vaccine—previously used during the Ebola epidemic from 2018 to 2020—as part of efforts to address a crisis threatening public health. The United Nations and Doctors Without Borders have warned of a concerningly rapid spread of the epidemic, with over 2,500 fatalities, half of which occurred in just 20 days, amidst challenges such as an overwhelmed health system and insecurity. The World Health Organization anticipates that the country will receive 70,000 doses of "Eirvibo," although its effectiveness against the current strain has not yet been confirmed. An international call has been made for increased support to confront this serious health threat.
