Health workers in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have begun to receive a vaccine that many hope will provide a level of protection against the Ebola virus.
The vaccine was rollout started yesterday in Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo in Ituri, the epicentre of the fastest-growing outbreak of Ebola in history.

The Provincial Governor, Major-General Gaby Kasongo Mulumba, said health workers there are particularly exposed and deeply involved in the response.
Health authorities said that the operation, backed by the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders, will also target North Kivu, where cases have been rising sharply.
It is reported that some 50,000 health and other frontline workers will be injected with the Ervebo vaccine, which was developed for use against the more common Zaire strain.
Its effectiveness against the current Ebola strain caused by the Bundibugyo virus will be monitored in 20,000 recipients for up to one year and clinical trials are ongoing to find a licensed vaccine for the latest outbreak, which has no licensed vaccine or proven treatment.
