Between 800 and 1,000 doses of a vaccine called
VSV-EBOV, which has shown positive results when tested on animals but has yet
to be used on humans, were on their way to the region and would be distributed
via the WHO, Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose said.
1,000 doses of Zmapp, which has been barely tested on
humans, are also on their way from the US.
Its
effectiveness has not yet been proven. It appears to have had a positive effect
on two US aid workers who were infected in Liberia, but an elderly Spanish
priest who was given the drug died in a Madrid hospital Tuesday.
