Tucked away inside this building knot of downtown bethesda, these scientists allowed cameras in for the first time. Looking for a way to prevent the lethal ebola virus thats killed hundreds in western africa since march. The biggest concern is the continued spread and the fact that it is out of control in the west african countries. Scientists at the National Institutes of health have been working on a ebola vaccine for more than a decade. But as the latest outbreak continues to grow, so does the pressure to create a vaccine to prevent a disease that can kill up to 90 of its victims. You have high population cities. And that is where the outbreak is, which makes it much more difficult to control. And with no effective treatments available, one of the best ways to stop the spread is prevention. In the form of a vaccine. Dr. Anthony fouchy, director of nihs National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases says scientists are getting close. They have created a vaccine made with genetic material from the virus. That means there is no live virus involved. You dont inject the entire virus of ebola. Because that would wibe dangero. You get a very small component of the virus which is a protein that coats the outside of the virus. Fouchy says they will Start Testing the latest version of the vaccine on humans at the end of september. If it proves to be safe and effective they hope to make it available by 2015, the first group who would get it . Healthcare workers. It is difficult to vaccinate a entire population because you dont know where an outbreak is going to be. But when you have Healthcare Providers putting themselves in clear and present danger of getting infected those are the ones you want to protect. The vaccine is different from the experimental drug given to the two americans infected. Doctors hope the medicine there will help to cure them.
