Now Vaccinations -- On Emergency Use Authorization -- Have Begun In Rwanda, For The Marburg Outbreaks, There...

Getting ahead of the outbreak here is still quite possible, with still under 50 confirmed cases.

The vaccines being given are not fully approved by FDA, or EU authorities, but are authorized for experimental emergency use (as now obtains) -- and there is very good reason to believe that they are safe, and effective. So it begins, in Rwanda.

Here's the full story from Reuters, reporting:

. . .Rwanda said on Sunday it had begun administering vaccine doses against the Marburg virus to try to combat an outbreak of the Ebola-like disease in the east African country, where it has so far killed 11 people.

"The vaccination is starting today immediately," Health Minister Sabin Nsanzimana said at a news conference in the capital Kigali. He said the vaccinations would focus on those "most at risk, most exposed healthcare workers working in treatment centres, in the hospitals, in ICU, in emergency, but also the close contacts of the confirmed cases. . . ."

Now you know -- and Martin Shkreli has lost his final appeal. He's banned from life sciences, for life. Onward.
