The World Health Organisation says it hopes to be able to deploy an experimental Ebola vaccine to deal with an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo as early as this week. It is thought four thousand doses will be sent to the remote northwestern province of Equateur where thirty-five suspected cases have been reported so far -- more than half of them fatal. Dan Damon asked Professor Peter Piot, Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine about the vaccines. (Picture: Masked medical workers Credit: Getty Images)
