The results of the trials involving 4,000 people are remarkable because of the unprecedented speed with which the development of the vaccine and the testing were carried out.
Scientists, doctors, donors and drug companies collaborated to race the vaccine through a process that usually takes more than a decade in just 12 months.
"Having seen the devastating effects of Ebola on communities and even whole countries with my own eyes, I am very encouraged by today's news," said Brge Brende, the foreign minister of Norway, which helped fund the trial.
