Next Steps for Ebola Vaccination: Deployment in Non-Epidemic, High-Risk Settings

Health care worker (HCW) estimates were derived from the most recent available World Bank estimates of numbers of physicians, nurses, and midwives (per 1,000 population) and the 2014 population in each country. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0004802.g001 Administration across high-risk countries could be conducted according to a prioritization scheme determined by a combination of indicators.\n For instance, health workers who move into districts in which such as vaccination program was already implemented should likewise be offered the vaccine. Due to the combination of behavioral change, active epidemiological surveillance [26], expanded hospital bed capacity [27], and other response efforts, a rapid decline in incidence restricted the number of high-transmission settings suitable for conducting vaccine trials during the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic.
