La OMS anuncia 70 000 dosis de vacuna contra Ébola para el Congo

La Organización Mundial de la Salud anunció que el Congo recibirá 70 000 dosis de la vacuna Ervebo, con 20 000 destinadas a una prueba de fase 3 y el resto para el personal sanitario de primera línea, en medio de la más rápida expansión de un brote de Ébola registrado en el país. El brote, que comenzó en el este del Congo varios meses antes de su declaración oficial en mayo, ha causado más de 2 300 muertes y cerca de 5 000 casos confirmados, superando los récords anteriores. Funcionarios de la OMS advirtieron que la epidemia podría superar la de África Occidental de 2014-2016, y los trabajadores de salud han enfrentado dificultades de seguridad y logística.
