LONDON: The world's first Ebola vaccine was approved by European drugs regulators on Friday in a move hailed by the World Health Organization as a"triumph for public health" that would save many lives.
"This vaccine has already saved many lives in the current Ebola outbreak, and the decision by European regulator will help it to eventually save many more," the WHO's director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. The Merck vaccine, which the company has now brand-named Ervebo, is likely to get a full marketing license from the European Commission within a few weeks.Merck said in a statement its priority now was to get regulatory approval of its Ervebo manufacturing site in Germany so that licensed supply of the vaccine"can be used to support global public health preparedness."
