So the Ebola vaccine isn't working?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76586611 Too early to tell. The virus has a 10+ day incubation period and this thing is just starting. Give it a few weeks and we will start to know what is happening. Regardless the major exports of the area should experience a price jump. Picking up a few extra medical supplies isn't a bad idea. I found N95 particulate masks on sale in bulk a few months back. Always good to have on hand since they can be used while doing various construction projects around the house. A few extra things things of bleach. Nothing to go hog wild on or that wont be used. The WHO believes that the ring vaccinations are working to prevent further spread. But only 8000 doses were sent to the Congo, and I'm sure a lot of that has been used up by HCWs snd the rich and powerful. ( Ring vaccination: The vaccination of all susceptible individuals in a prescribed area around an outbreak of an infectious disease. Ring vaccination controls an outbreak by vaccinating and monitoring a ring of people around each infected individual. The idea is to form a buffer of immune individuals to prevent the spread of the disease.)
