Because Ebola can be a devastating disease, anyone who is likely to have been exposed to Ebola should immediately contact a medical caregiver, preferably someone at the CDC in the United States. This notification allows the CDC to do close monitoring of potentially infected or infectious individuals according to current CDC guidelines and will afford those individuals who develop the infection early treatment, to increase their chances for survival and decrease the possibility of transferring infection to others. In addition, an experimental vaccine (rVSV-ZEBOV) helps to prevent infections with Ebola, and a new antiviral drug, mAb114, helps the body render the Ebola virus ineffective. Individuals and health care workers who have been exposed to Ebola-infected patients and develop early symptoms of Ebola need to isolate themselves from other uninfected individuals and go to a clinic or hospital in their country that is capable of taking care of Ebola-infected patients. Ideally, such individuals should be careful (use barrier techniques and/or inform EMS or other transporters) not to contaminate anyone while they are transported to the appropriate health care facilities.
