Rwanda has launched its first large-scale vaccination campaign against the Ebola virus.
Rwanda’s Health Minister, Diane Gashumba, said at least, 200 thousand people will be vaccinated over the next year in areas bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Priority will be given to health workers, immigration officials, police and those engaged in cross-border trade.
So far there have been no confirmed Ebola cases in Rwanda.
The authorities are hoping the experimental vaccine will keep things that way.
