Experimental Ebola Vaccines Get Go Ahead In Uganda

Health workers in Uganda have received clearance to start using experimental vaccines for the Ebola disease.

Last week two people who had travelled from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo died from Ebola in Uganda.

People who came into contact with them have already received experimental vaccines.

The head of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom has been visiting Uganda and DR Congo.

The outbreak in DR Congo is the second worst on record, with more than 1,400 people dying of the disease.
