A Brief Look -- At The Current State Of Potential Marburg Vaccine Candidates, From GAVI... For Guinea Outbreak 2023


This is just a very quick update -- on the state of the play, in getting potential Marburg vaccine candidates into field trials, in Guinea -- before the outbreak ends.

Here's the latest from GAVI:

. . .So far only the Sabin vaccine has completed phase 1 trials.

The IAVI candidate is ready for phase 1 and PHV has completed pre-clinical testing. Janssen and Auro are not actively being tested currently.

WHO's plan for testing vaccines would be similar to the approach with Ebola: ring vaccination targeting high-risk populations. None of the vaccines may even get to a clinical trial – ideally, quarantine would end the outbreak before a vaccine dose could be administered. . . .


That is all. Now you know. . . steady snow here now. . . . smile.
