This final report updates preliminary data on an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus–based vaccine candidate designed to prevent Ebola virus disease. The results supported the safety and immunogenicity of up to two doses of the vaccine.
The worst Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in recorded history has resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 reported deaths.
