How Can You Prevent Ebola? There’s a vaccine to prevent Ebola, but rVSV-ZEBOV (Ervebo) only treats the Zaire strain of the virus. The best way to avoid catching the disease is by not traveling to areas where the virus is found. If you are in areas where Ebola is present, avoid contact with bats, monkeys, chimpanzees, and gorillas since these animals spread Ebola to people. You may be able to get the vaccine from the World Health Organization. Health care workers can prevent infection by wearing masks, gloves, and goggles whenever they come into contact with people who may have Ebola. Ebola Facts
There are five types of Ebola virus. Four of them cause the disease in humans. The Ebola virus first appeared during two 1976 outbreaks in Africa.
