Ugandan officials are preparing to deploy a trial vaccine as part of efforts to stem an outbreak of Ebola in the capital, Kampala.

Uganda is racing to launch a trial Ebola vaccine after a deadly outbreak in Kampala claimed a nurse’s life. With no approved vaccine for the Sudan strain, officials are accelerating research and regulatory approvals.

At least 44 contacts of the victim in the current outbreak have been identified, including 30 health workers and patients.

After the first Ebola death in Uganda in years, a senior health official says authorities in the African nation are "in full control of the situation."

This development follows a confirmed case of Sudan virus disease., a strain of the Ebola virus, reported in Uganda.

In its last outbreak, more than two years ago, Uganda saw 164 cases and 55 confirmed deaths from Ebola. Uganda announced Thursday that a nurse, 32, had died of Ebola in the capital, Kampala, amid a new outbreak of the deadly virus there — the first in two years.

Ugandan health officials on Thursday confirmed a case of Ebola in the capital Kampala, in a nurse who sought care at a number of facilities.

A day after Uganda's Ministry of Health announced a new Ebola outbreak in the capital, Kampala, most Ugandans appeared unaware or unconcerned about the outbreak and went about their business normally.
