China's Ebola Vaccine Used in Clinical Trials in Sierra Leone

A vaccine against the Ebola virus developed by Chinese scientists has undergone clinical trials in Sierra Leone.

The public relations officer at the Ministry of Health Abbas Kamara says there have been no "adverse reports and side effects" about it as of now.

Kamara adds the vaccine could contribute to government efforts to contain the deadly disease.

China was the first country to help Sierra Leone in its fight against Ebola by sending medical supplies and personnel.

China has also built a permanent laboratory for testing infectious diseases in the country.
