Since April, the Democratic Republic of Congo has reported 46 Ebola cases and 26 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. The African nation is preparing to offer health workers and other high-risk populations an experimental vaccine that proved to be protective against the virus in a major 2015 trial in Guinea.
