Wonderful they still haven't traced all the registered contacts and they've only vaccinated 4.5 rings so far. At best they're getting 50 people per day. And I'm also wondering whether the vaccine is truly 100% effective. We know the vaccine doesn't protect you if you already have the virus right? Well during their trials in 2016 in West Africa, how did they know whether anyone who developed an infection already had Ebola when they were vaccinated or whether the vaccine failed to cause an immune response and allowed gen to be infected? However if it really was the case not a single participant didnt develop symptoms was it really because of the vaccine or was it because they were near the end of the outbreak and in an area that had already seen the worst of it pass?
I also found this article here https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/indepth/opinion/cautious-game-changer-ebola-vaccine-180529122431725.html
It's an opinion piece but the author alleges that participants weren't able to report side effects
>Recently, I sought personal accounts from clinical trial participants in Sierra Leone, where I work as an anthropologist. During those conversations, I learned second-hand about participants' inability to report concerning side effects of the vaccine - swollen joints and joint pain; skin lesions; and fever - to the research team.
I also recall from an article that I cant seem to find is that this vaccine may only work short term and may not provide long term protection against Ebola. Exactly how much time that would be the article didnt mention. But I'm hoping it is only for a few months. Short enough for sexual transmission to still be viable.
