<h2>No Need To Worry From Ebola Virus</h2>
The world is for the first time on the verge of being able to protect humans against Ebola, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday, as data from a trial in Guinea showed a vaccine was 100 percent effective. Initial results from trials which were conducted on 4000 people who had been in close contact showed 100 percent protection from deadly virus Ebola.
The results were described as "remarkable" and "game changing" by global health specialists. "We believe that the world is on the verge of an efficacious Ebola vaccine," WHO vaccine expert Marie Paule Kieny told reporters in a briefing from Geneva. This is a huge relief for the people who have suffered the wrath of Ebola virus. Ebola virus has killed more than 11,200 people in West Africa.
WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said the results, published online in the medical journal The Lancet, were an "extremely promising development". This is going to be a game changer," she told reporters. It will change the management of the current Ebola outbreak and future outbreaks."
It was a prompt moment and the vaccines trials were fast tracked because Ebola terror was moving at full speed, but due to the hardwork of researchers they have managed to gauged the potential vaccines immediately. The Guinea trial began on March 23 to gauge the effectiveness of using VSV-ZEBOV using a so-called "ring vaccination" strategy, where close contact people from Ebola virus were immunized.
The vaccines started fructifying its magic and the positive results provided new hope for the people. Earlier it was on trial basis but, after its positive outcome researchers decided on July 26 that they would no longer use the "delayed" strategy, since it was becoming clear that making people wait involved unethical and unnecessary risk.
The trial is now being continued, with all participants receiving the vaccine immediately, and will be extended to include 13- to 17-year-olds and possibly also 6- to 12-year-old children, the WHO said. So, finally the terror of Ebola has been vanished and now there is no need to worry from Ebola virus.
