AND THE W.H.O. ON POSSIBLE VACCINES FOR EBOLA

his senior UN  officials,
Anna Tibaijuka, to Zimbabwe to report on the

reports of vaccines for the deadly EBOLA
and Marburg diseases: "This
is a very important first time. To date since
we don't have either drugs or vaccines to help
people who are in this haemorrhagic fever situation."
