Cases and vaccinations for west Africa and the ongoing DRC Ebola virus disease outbreaks, and overall case fatality rate (CFR) for all EVD outbreaks. (A) Total cases (suspected, probable, confirmed) are included for the 2013–2016 west Africa Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak and the ongoing EVD outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and plotted by week. For vaccinations in west Africa, all vaccine platforms that were utilized are included; in the current DRC outbreak, Merck's V920 (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP) accounts for most vaccinations; as of 24 December 2019, 2938 doses of the Johnson & Johnson Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo have been administered. Beginning dates represented are 26 December 2013 and 30 April 2018 for the west Africa outbreak and the ongoing DRC outbreak, respectively. (B) Comparison of CFR for EVD cases during the following periods: 1976–2012, west Africa (2013–2016), 2014–2018, and the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2018-present). For west Africa, basic care is that which patients received in Ebola treatment units; advanced care is that which patients received when treated in the US or Europe. Grey and orange checkered colouring indicate that the CFR for the west Africa outbreak range from the naïve calculated 40% to recent corrected estimates of 63% [19] and 83% [44]. Numbers above bars indicate total number of cases represented. *As of 24 December 2019.
