As of Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported nine confirmed and probable Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) cases, including five deaths. While no confirmed cases of Ebola have been recorded outside of the country, the latest outbreak in N’Zerekore prefecture is close to porous borders with Liberia, Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire.
“A delivery of 11,000 Ebola vaccines arrived in Guinea on Monday & 24 hours later a vaccination team was in N’Zerekore starting the rollout. So far, 225 high-risk contacts & frontline health workers have been vaccinated”, according to a WHO African Region tweet.
As Ebola immunization scales up in Guinea, the country’s neighboring nations are on high alert, urgently preparing to detect, isolate and manage any cases and quickly stamp out potential cross-border outbreaks.
