Mourners in eastern Congo have gathered to bury a 6-month-old girl who died from Ebola earlier this week. This is the third child from the orphanage to die from the disease in recent weeks. The funeral Friday highlights the impersonal nature of safe burial practices and the severity of the epidemic. The Ituri region, at the center of the outbreak, has reported 90% of cases. Residents have clashed with healthcare professionals over disrupted burials and a militarized response. The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, responsible for this outbreak, has no approved treatment or vaccine. With 894 confirmed cases and more than 200 deaths, the outbreak is three times worse than a previous one in Uganda in 2000.

A new kind of flu vaccine is moving a step closer to the U.S. market. Federal health advisers on Thursday recommended approval of a shot made with the same mRNA technology that was key to ending the pandemic. Moderna is seeking Food and Drug Administration approval for mFlusiva as an option for people 50 and older. There already are numerous types of flu vaccines to choose from, but experts say adding an mRNA option could be useful. Moderna is seeking full approval for people ages 50 to 64 and authorization for use in those 65 and older while it conducts additional testing.

Congolese authorities report a large daily increase in Ebola cases as the virus without a approved medicine or vaccine spreads rapidly. On Sunday, the Ministry of Health confirmed 72 new cases, bringing the total to 782, with 181 confirmed deaths. The outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, is spreading in Congo’s remote eastern province of Ituri. The World Health Organization is intensifying testing and contact tracing. Africa’s top health body is deploying technical expertise to accelerate the response. Nearly a million people have been displaced by years of conflict in the region, complicating efforts to contain the outbreak.
