Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo have begun a targeted vaccination campaign as part of efforts to contain a new outbreak of the Ebola virus. The initiative will prioritize frontline health workers and individuals who have come into direct contact with confirmed cases.
Health officials say the swift response is aimed at curbing further spread and protecting those most at risk. Vaccination teams are being deployed in affected areas, while surveillance and community awareness campaigns are also underway.
Ebola, a highly contagious and often fatal disease, has previously caused devastating outbreaks in the country. The current intervention reflects Congo's strengthened preparedness and international support to tackle emerging cases quickly.
