"Post-Infection Ebola Vaccine Cuts Death Rates in Half, Study Shows"

A new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that a promising Ebola vaccine can cut mortality rates in half, even if given after infection. The vaccine, rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP, was highly effective at reducing the risk of infection and also reduced deaths from the virus. Researchers found that those who received the vaccine had a significantly lower fatality risk, regardless of when they were vaccinated before the onset of symptoms. This offers hope in the battle against Ebola and highlights the importance of early vaccination campaigns to curb outbreaks.
