Liberia starts Ebola vaccine trial
A trial of an Ebola vaccine was starting in Liberia’s capital today following a launch event featuring musicians.
In a densely-populated neighbourhood of Monrovia yesterday, guests clapped, danced along and nodded as musicians sang lyrics which explained the purpose and intent of the Ebola vaccination trial. The singing was part of a campaign to overcome Liberians’ reluctance to embrace the vaccines amid conspiracy theories.
