CEPI and Gavi commit over $100 million to develop a vaccine for the Bundibugyo Ebola strain driving the DRC outbreak.
An Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo strain is spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Existing vaccines target the Zaire strain and are not expected to work against Bundibugyo. CEPI and Gavi have committed roughly $102 million to fast-track vaccine candidates from IAVI, Oxford, and Moderna.
