GSK said the shipment contains an initial 300 vials of the candidate vaccine, which will be sent to Liberia, one of the worst-affected countries by Ebola. The
experimental Ebola vaccines will be used in the first large-scale efficacy trail
in the coming weeks.
The experimental vaccine has been tested in Britain, the United States, Switzerland and Mali. Around 200 health volunteers are involved in the
test Gil Brazil Jersey , according to GSK. It said initial data from trials showed that the experimental vaccine has an acceptable safety profile.
GSK said the large-scale trail would be led by a U.S. biotechnology firm, National Institutes of Health (NIH). Up to 30,000 people, including frontline
healthcare workers, will be enrolled up in the trail, one third of whom will
receive GSK's candidate Ebola vaccine.
"Shipping the vaccine today is a major achievement and shows that we remain on track with the accelerated development of our candidate Ebola vaccine. If the
candidate vaccine is able to protect these people Gabriel Jesus Brazil Jersey , as we hope it will, it could significantly contribute to efforts to bring this epidemic under control and prevent future
outbreaks," said Moncef Slaoui, chairman of global vaccines at GSK.
"It is important to remember that this vaccine is still in development and any potential future use in mass vaccination campaigns will depend on whether
WHO, regulators and other stakeholders are satisfied that the vaccine candidate
provides protection against Ebola without causing significant side effects and
how quickly large quantities of vaccine can be made," he added.

Madrid is the capital of Spain Fernandinho Brazil Jersey , and is located almost exactly in the centre of the country. The provinces Avila, Segovia, Guadalajara, Cuenca and Toledo border
Madrid, and with an elevation of over 2 thousand feet, it is also the highest
capital in Europe and home to over 3 million people. Madrid is also home to the
royal family Fagner Brazil Jersey , Spanish parliament, banking, and is the administration hub of Spain.
Madrid is a lively, cosmopolitan city full of culture and artistic activity and has an endless supply of bars, which are busy well into
the early hours. One of the best ways to get around the city is on the efficient
Metro System. There are 11 numbered and colour-coded lines that are easy to
follow and extend to most of the holiday attractions Madrid has to
offer.
Madrid Plaza Mayor
The main centrepiece in Madrid is the Plaza Mayor. This vast traffic-free cobbled rectangle is completely surrounded by 17th
Century architectural buildings, the most prominent being the Casa de la
Panaderia (Bakers' Guild) Ederson Brazil Jersey , which is covered with modern allegorical murals. Another fantastic building is the Casa de la Carniceria (Butchers' Guild) whose facade
is also covered with vibrant paintings. There are nine gateway entrances leading
into Plaza Mayor and in the centre stands the 17th century triumphant statue of
King Filipe III. The spectacular scenery and ambiance is best appreciated from
the many bars within the square and outdoor seating that sprawls out onto the
cobbles.
Holiday visits to El Rastro
El Rastro is Madrid's famous Sunday flea market, which can be found on Plaza de Cascorro and Calle Ribera de
Curtidores. It is an excellent way to spend the day, and an experience in itself
to join the thousands of people all squeezed into the tiny streets. The variety
of goods on sale is amazing with everything from clothes, books and leather
goods to plants, tools and anything you could care to imagine. The best time to
visit the market is early morning when the stalls are just setting up. By
mid-afternoon it will be hard to move either into or out of the market what with
the thousands of people who visit every week.
Madrid Palacio Real
Palacio Real is located just north of Plaza Mayor in Calle Bail?? and can be reached on the Metro underground at Opera, Plaza de Espa??. It is a
formidable Palace that overlooks the huge square Plaza de Armas. Construction of
the Palace took 26 years to complete and it was occupied from the late 18th
century until 1931 when King Alfonso XIII was forced to abdicate. Nowadays the
palace is only used for formal occasions as King Juan Carlos I lives elsewhere.
The Palace can be enjoyed at your leisure Douglas Costa Brazil Jersey , or you could join an organised tour, which will take in the most interesting rooms. Off the main entrance is the Botica Real,
rooms used as a pharmacy containing jars of medicines and herbs. Other
highlights include the Thrown Room used for royal receptions, the Gasparini

of armour and weapons.
Madrid is about as far away from any coast of Spain as you could get, but come August and some of the hottest temperatures to
be found anywhere in Spain, the city becomes deserted as many Spanish leave the
city for surrounding towns and cooler coastal resorts. The many motorways that
leave the city start their life at the bustling Puerta del Sol where 10 streets
converge to a point known as 'Kilometre 0?? which is where all distances in
Spain are measured from. The spot is identified by a small plaque on the south
side of the square Diego Souza Brazil Jersey , which is under the clock that Spaniards tune in to at midnight on New Year's Eve, eating one grape for good luck with each strike
of the bell. The Puerta del Sol buzzes with life and one of the best ways to
enjoy it is from one of the many fine s. Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Hats Wholesale Hoodie Wholesale NHL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL T-Shirts Wholesale MLB Jerseys Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping
