WHO (the World Health Organisation) today stated that Vaccins which can act as a protection against EBOLA will become available for front line workers in December 2014.
The production of the vaccins will be in "hundreds of thousands" in the first half of 2015, and in millions later.
However, Dr Marie Paule Kieny, a WHO assistant Director, said there was not yet a "cure" available.
This in fact partially answers the question in our article yesterday, "when will there be a cure for EBOLA ?". To discover a cure, test and produce it and then distribute it, will take at least six months (so it would seem).
Perhaps a cure will be available in JUNE 2015 ! Without a vaccination the risk of getting EBOLA remains ! Even in the USA as well as in Europe, cases of EBOLA have already been detected !
Should the African Nations Football Cup be staged in Morocco in January/February 2015 ? The prudent answer would be "Stage the Finals a year later, in 2016" !
Likewise, it would seem to be prudent to cancel all travel, into or out of Africa, for at least six months ! You travel at your own peril !
