    Millions of doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine will be produced by the end of 2015, the World Health Organization has announced.

    It said "several hundred thousand" would be produced in the first half of the year.

    And vaccines could be offered to health workers on the frontline in West Africa as soon as December 2014.
