I'm super glad that the vaccine did apparently work for that guy in Atlanta bc that means a lot of hope for those who get Ebola here in the US. My guess is that it will be made available on a case-by-case basis and/or they may tap that doctor for his antibodies against the disease since he got the vaccine. |
Isn't Ebola transferred only by bodily fluids?
