WHO declares Nigeria as Ebola-Free
The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared
Nigeria as an Ebola-free country.
It was declared Ebola-free after no new cases were
reported within the 42 day period stipulated by
the WHO for a country to be declared Ebola free.
The last reported case in Nigeria was confirmed on
8 September 2014.
The announcement was made by the WHO
representative Rui Gama Vaz in the capital Abuja.
With this, Nigeria became the second country in
West Africa to be declared Ebola free.
According to WHO, the success of Nigeria was
attributable to ample funding, quick action and
assistance from the WHO, the US Centers for
Disease Control and the non-profit Doctors
Without Borders.

The vaccine has shown a long-term protection for
non-human primates against the deadly Ebola
virus. Results from a recent pre-clinical study
represent the only proof to date that a single dose
of a non-injectable vaccine platform for Ebola is
long lasting, which could have significant global
implications in controlling future outbreaks.
