I pray she’ll recover.

The first human clinical trials of a Canadian-developed Ebola vaccine, VSV-EBOV, begin in Maryland today to assess the vaccine’s safety and determine the appropriate dosage to fight the virus that has killed more than 4,000 people, largely in West Africa, Health Minister Rona Ambrose announces.

The vaccine, which was developed by scientists at the Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, has proven safe in animals and will be tested on 20 healthy volunteers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Md.

The results from the Phase 1 human trials will be completed by December, Ambrose said, although no specific date was given.
