The Democratic Republic of Congo has begun rolling out an Ebola vaccine targeting a different strain of the virus to frontline health workers, as the death toll from the ongoing outbreak continues to rise. Around 50,000 frontline staff are expected to receive the jab, with 20,000 already enrolled in a one-year clinical trial. The vaccination push is a key part of the country's response to contain the crisis, which has strained its health system and raised international concern about the spread of the disease.
