A vaccine against Ebola has been shown to be 100% successful in trials conducted during the outbreak in Guinea and is likely to bring the west African epidemic to an end, experts say.
The results of the trials involving 4,000 people are remarkable because of the unprecedented speed with which the development of the vaccine and the testing were carried out.
Scientists, doctors, donors and drug companies collaborated to race the vaccine through a process that usually takes more than a decade in just 12 months.

I'm curious if this vaccine would get on out schedule here. If everyone where Ebola is from gets vaccinated it couldn't travel. Right?
Sorry, my sarcasm detector is broken today, apparently.
