Recent trial tests at Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D.C., showed a vaccine proven to increase Ebola antibodies worked. Now researchers want to test a “watered down” version with a lower dose of that vaccine  in Knoxville.

The vaccine, made from a cow virus, contains one protein of Ebola.
Smith said there is no threat anyone could get Ebola from the injection.
Volunteers would just see a little redness on their arms — and at worst flu like symptoms.

Homeland Security vetted Knoxville for the trials — and Knoxville won out over several other sites who competed to be part of study.

And if it works, the vaccine will go to Africa to be tested on Ebola victims. If you would like to participate in the study, contact (865) 305-DRUG (3784).
