The report describes evidence presented on BDBV-specific vaccine candidates under development by IAVI and the University of Oxford, as well as data on potential cross-protection from existing Ebola virus vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>The document outlines the criteria used by the TAG-CVP to assess candidate vaccines, including safety, potential efficacy, availability and implementation considerations. It summarizes available preclinical and clinical evidence for recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus and ChAdOx1 vaccine platforms, including challenge studies in non-human primates and immunogenicity findings. <\/p>\n<p>The report presents consensus recommendations concerning the prioritization of homologous BDBV-specific vaccines and possible pre- and post-exposure study strategies.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"dynamic-content__details\">\n<div class=\"detail who-team\">\n<div class=\"label\">WHO Team<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n                 <span><br \/>\nChief Scientist and Science Division (SCI),                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\n                             <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/blueprint\">R&amp;D Blue Print (RDB)<\/a>                 <\/span>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Editors<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">World Health Organization<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Number of pages<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">5<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Reference numbers<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<div><strong class=\"label-sm\">WHO Reference Number: <\/strong><span>B09771<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Copyright<\/div>\n<p>                <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"creativecommons-icons-wrappers\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/igo\/deed.en\" rel=\"license\" title=\"Click here to see the details of CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/cc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/by.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/nc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/sa.svg\"><br \/>\n                <\/a>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/B09771?rand=6398\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download (390.3 kB) Overview This meeting report summarizes the deliberations and recommendations of the WHO Technical Advisory Group on Candidate Vaccine Prioritization (TAG-CVP) regarding candidate vaccines for the rapidly evolving outbreak of Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD) caused by Orthoebolavirus bundibugyoense in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
