Congo receives more than 16,000 doses of Ebola vaccine as it grapples with unprecedented outbreak

Congo received over 16,000 doses of Ervebo vaccine as it combats an unprecedented Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus. The current crisis has recorded 2,557 deaths across six affected provinces and is spreading at a high rate despite receiving anticipated aid from WHO and partners. Efforts to contain the spread are complicated by armed conflict between government forces and rebel groups.
