Kenyan research institute to launch Ebola vaccine trial in July

An Ebola clinical vaccine trial will be launched this July by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), the Standard Digital of Kenya reports.

According to Senior Deputy Director of the KEMRI Walter Reed project, Dr Fredric Sawe, the effort by KEMRI is meant to restore the West African region which was worst hit by the deadly Ebola virus.

“People were scared to travel to West Africa or to host passengers from that region. We now aim to put an end to that by launching a clinical trial of the vaccine,” he said.
