Two children hospitalized in Melbourne with suspected Ebola virus

SYDNEY, February 26. /TASS/. Two children have been hospitalized in Australia’s Melbourne on Thursday with suspected Ebola virus.


They are undergoing necessary testing and examination, a representative of the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne said. The results will be known on Thursday evening.

No information is yet available on where the children came from. They are both under 10.

No Ebola cases have been registered in Australia so far.

VACCINES AGAINST EBOLA

Four vaccines against Ebola have been developed and submitted for testing, head of Russia’s Ministry of Health Veronika Skvortsova told journalists on February 18.

The development and testing of vaccines was already one week ahead of schedule, Skvortsova noted. "We prepared four vaccines, each of them has a different basis," the minister said. "At the moment, these vaccines have already entered the stage of clinical trials," she added. One of the vaccines is already being tested on primates, while others will enter this stage in a month.
