Weird Immunological Science

Yahoo News Digest reports GlaxoSmithKline is developing an Ebola vaccine which shows promise and perhaps can start shipping in early 2015. According to the short article, this is the third vaccine to show up, one each from Canada, the U.S., and the U.K.

I much doubt they plan to vaccinate people in the States or Europe, probably widespread vaccination in Western Africa would be indicated. Perhaps hospital staff here might get the vaccine if there is a chance they'll be treating infected patients. Hat tip to the other DrC for the link.
