As Nigerians become more aware of the #Ebola virus, the World Health Organization has announced that clinical trials of a preventative vaccine for the virus made by British pharma company GlaxoSmithKline may begin next month and made available by 2015.
Excerpt from SKY News:
We are targeting September for the start of clinical trials, first in the United States and certainly in African countries, since that's where we have the cases,' Jean-Marie Okwo Bele, the WHO's head of vaccines and immunisation, told #French radio.

'And since this is an emergency, we can put emergency procedures in place ... so that we can have a vaccine available by 2015.'
