Rwanda reported an epidemic of Marburg virus sickness on September 27th, and the nation's Minister of Health tried to assure those attending a briefing that the issue was under control.
Throughout the discussion with diplomatic representatives and its development partners, Minister Nsanzimana discussed the vaccination plans in place to combat the disease.
Rwanda got 700 doses of an experimental vaccine last week, which has been made available to medical personnel and those who have had exposure to confirmed cases.
While the vaccine is still being tested, Sendegeya feels it is safe and might prove extremely beneficial to individuals who are at risk of infection.
So far, the vaccination has been administered to over 200 people across the country.
