The strain that the vaccine fights, however, is not the same that is currently plaguing Uganda.

and the volunteers for the study are from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Mali. One of the study’s main goals was to identify the best vaccination strategies to curtail future Ebola outbreaks. The trials were conducted simultaneously and shared a placebo arm. A total of 1,400 adults and 1,401 children were randomized to receive two injections of either placebo or Ebola vaccine in one of three different regimens.

One vaccine regimen was a dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine followed by a booster dose of a vaccine supplied by Bavarian Nordic eight weeks later. A second regimen was two doses of a vaccine made by Merck, given eight weeks apart. The third regimen included one dose of the Merck vaccine followed by a placebo injection eight weeks later.

All of the regimens produced antibodies 14 days after the first of two shots and these antibodies were detectable at varying levels in both children and adults for one year, depending on the vaccine and regimen.] “The researchers say this finding is notable because vaccines against Ebola virus disease are typically administered during an outbreak and so information about how rapidly a vaccine produces an antibody effect is of potential use in efforts to protect at-risk populations,”
