- The recommendation followed a WHO advisory group’s October 22 review; trial participation remains subject to regulatory approval.
- Reported interim Phase 1 results showed the vaccine was generally well tolerated, with a single dose generating strong virus-specific antibody responses.
- CEPI has committed up to US$58.5 million for vaccine development and trial-dose manufacturing, with separate funding for Tumaini.
- No vaccine is currently licensed specifically to prevent Bundibugyo virus disease.
