AI Summary:
Ugandan authorities begin clinical trial of a vaccine against the Sudan strain of Ebola. Two more cases are confirmed on Monday in relatives of the first victim. The trial "marks a major milestone in public health emergency response," WHO director says. Trial vaccine known as rVSV-ZEBOV used to vaccinate 3,000 people at risk of infection during an outbreak of the Zaire strain of Ebola in eastern Congo between 2018 and 2020. Confirmation of the disease in Uganda is the latest in a series of outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers in the east African region. Tanzania declared an outbreak last month, and Rwanda announced its own outbreak of Marburg was over.
