Content: Even if you get the vaccine, you should still try to not be exposed to Ebola virus. It is rare for people in the United States or other developed countries to get infected. You can help lower your risk of infection by doing the following: Avoid traveling to areas where known EVD outbreaks have occurred. Do not touch the blood or body fluids of a person who may be infected with the virus. Do not touch the body of a person who has died from EVD. Do not touch items that may be contaminated with the virus. People who work in health care settings should be extra cautious around those who are infected or at risk of being infected with the Ebola virus. Call your doctor right away if you are at increased risk of being infected and you have symptoms of EVD. Avoid contact with other people until you get medical care.
