## Resource

Ebola’s rare Bundibugyo strain is sparking global alarm, with over 1,000 suspected cases and nearly 250 deaths in the DRC, plus 9 confirmed in Uganda. Without a dedicated vaccine, experts fear it could match or exceed the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak. But hope is rising: IAVI, Moderna, and Oxford are racing to develop vaccines using cutting-edge tech—IAVI’s adapted Zaire vaccine showed 100% protection in monkeys, Moderna’s mRNA platform, and Oxford’s pandemic-tested tech—all funded by CEPI, with Oxford aiming for trials in 2-3 months. These vaccines train immune systems to recognize the virus, offering a crucial defense against this deadly, unpredictable outbreak.
