Uganda Camppara- Senior health officials said on Sunday that Ugandan officials are preparing to deploy test vaccines as part of the outbreak of the capital Ebola virus.
Pontiano Kaleebu, executive director of the Uganda Virus Research Institute, said that a series of scientists are developing and planning to deploy 2,000 doses of candidate vaccines for Sudan strains.
He said "is accelerating the agreement" to obtain all necessary regulatory approval. "This vaccine has not been permitted."
The World Health Organization said in a statement that the support of Uganda's response to Uganda includes a test vaccine that obtains 2160 doses.
The WHO statement said: "The research team has been deployed to the field and worked with the surveillance team because people are waiting for approval."
It said that candidate vaccines and candidate treatment are provided by clinical trials to further test the efficacy and safety.
Vaccine manufacturers do not know immediately. Sudan strains have no approved vaccine, and the vaccine killed a nurse employed by the main referral hospital in Kanpara. The man died on Wednesday and the authorities announced the outbreak the next day. Officials are still investigating the source of the epidemic, and there are no other confirmed cases.
Since the Ebola epidemic in September 2022, Uganda can use candidate vaccine doses, causing at least 55 people to be killed. Kalib said that Ugandan officials had no time to start vaccine research, and about four months after the outbreak of central Uganda at the time.
A test vaccine called RVSV-Zebov was used in the risk of infection of 3,000 people in the Ebola strain in the Ebola strain in the east of the Congo between 2018 and 2020. It turns out that it effectively contains the spread of diseases there.
Uganda has occurred many Ebola epidemic, including the outbreak caused by hundreds of people caused by 2000. In 2014-16, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa killed more than 11,000 people, the largest number of deaths of the disease.
Tracking contact is also the key to preventing the spread of Ebola virus. The spread of Ebola virus is manifested as virus hemorrhage.
According to the Ministry of Health of Uganda, at least 44 victims in the current outbreak, including 30 health workers and patients.
The confirmation of Uganda Ebola virus is a series of latest news in East Africa's virus bleeding and fever. Tanzania announced the outbreak of Malburg similar to Ebola virus earlier this month. In December, Rwanda announced that his own Malburg outbreak was over. According to the local health authorities, at least two people were killing at least two people in the Kagera area in northern Tanzania.
Kampala's epidemic may be difficult to respond because the city's migrant population is about 4 million. The death nurse sought treatment in a hospital in the outskirts of Kampala, and later went to Mbale in the eastern country, where he was taken to a public hospital. The health authorities said the man also sought the service of traditional therapists.
Ebola virus is spread through contact with the infected or contaminated materials. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and sometimes internal and external bleeding.
Scientists do not know the natural reservoir of Ebola virus, but they suspect that the first person infected by the first person who contacted or eat raw meat infected with animals.
In 1976, the Ebola virus was found in the two outbreaks of the South Sudan and the Congo. The outbreak occurred in a village near the Ebola River, and it was named the disease since then.
