June 1 (Reuters) - Global health organisation CEPI will give roughly $60 million to Moderna (MRNA.O), opens new tab and two other groups to accelerate the development of shots against Ebola Bundibugyo, the deadly virus that has swept through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations was one of the early investors that helped to develop a vaccine at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Richard Hatchett, head of CEPI, told Reuters on Monday it was possible to get Ebola Bundibugyo (BDBV) vaccines ready for trials within a couple of months.
There are currently no approved BDBV vaccines or treatments.
Hatchett said the promise of vaccines on "a not infinitely distant horizon" should help to start conversations about who would buy them and fund any roll-out.
But he cautioned that vaccine development can be unpredictable and the challenging security situation in eastern Congo would make trials complex.
There have been 282 confirmed cases in Congo, including 42 deaths, and around 1,100 suspected cases, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
Another nine cases have been confirmed in Uganda, including one death.
Global health agencies have declared the outbreak a public health emergency.

I see nothing going wrong this time. This will be the best vaccine ever!!
Yeah, we need another mRNA fix to stave off withdrawals from the Covid fix.
I’ll pass... a cold beer with vitamin D3 and Zinc had a better COVID cure rate than the last fake vaccine.
Oooh, $60 million to develop a “vaccine”. Thanks to the new definition of “vaccine”, it doesn’t even have to work! Easy money, baby!
“Fine. But I draw the line at 53 boosters this time.”
And making it mandatory for even Eskimos..
Whether ebola kills you or moderna kills you, what’s the difference?
The sham continues
