Dr Matthew Snape from the Department of Paediatrics' Oxford Vaccine Group reveals promising findings from their current trial into a new Ebola vaccine.

The persistence of vaccine-induced immunity to one year post-immunisation is truly impressive.

The fact that all participants retained Ebola-specific antibodies to the end of the study does raise hope that this vaccine could induce responses that last for several years.

- Dr Matthew Snape

'The world should be far better prepared for the next Ebola outbreak, with further promising results on Tuesday showing the potential of a long-lasting vaccine against the deadly virus.

'The two-part shot from Johnson & Johnson and Danish partner Bavarian Nordic induced a durable immune response lasting a full year in 100 percent of healthy volunteers vaccinated, researchers reported.' Extract from the Daily Mail, 14 March 2017.

The findings, based on a Phase I clinical trial led by the Oxford Vaccine Group involving 75 healthy subjects, were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
