The World Health Organization announced a Canadian-origin Ebola vaccine with a potential 100% efficacy. The vaccine showed no cases of Ebola among vaccinated individuals, compared to 23 cases in the unvaccinated group. The vaccine's commercialization rights were acquired by Merck, and it could be registered by 2018 after regulatory reviews.

The recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa resulted in over 11,000 deaths, overwhelming health systems and economies in countries like Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
