NCT ID NCT05992480
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a booster dose of the Ebola vaccine (ERVEBO) can strengthen the immune system of people who have already survived Ebola. Researchers will compare their response to that of healthy people who have never had the virus. The goal is to see if the booster provides lasting protection and is safe for survivors.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a booster shot helps Ebola survivors maintain long-term protection against reinfection.
