Officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have approved the use of an experimental Ebola vaccine in the hopes of stemming the spread of a recent outbreak of the deadly virus in the African nation. Public health officials in the DRC have reported at least 43 cases of suspected Ebola and four deaths. As of Monday there have been no new cases of the virus reported. The vaccine was developed during the last major outbreak of the Ebola virus, which began in 2014 in West Africa and caused a global panic. The DRC was one of the first countries to experience an outbreak of Ebola when the virus appeared in 1976.
