TORONTO - Health officials say Canada may decide to place doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine in designated hospitals.
Dr. Gregory Taylor, Canada's chief public health officer, says the vaccine could be quickly used if healthcare workers had any risky exposures.
A number of facilities across Canada have been chosen to treat Ebola cases should the deadly disease arrive here.
Taylor said that includes one that will care for Canadian responders if any become infected in an Ebola zone.
Taylor, speaking in Banff, Alberta here the country's health ministers are meeting, did not mention the hospital by name, but it is Toronto Western.
The vaccine, created by researchers at Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, is still experimental.
Meanwhile, Thomas Eric Duncan, the man in a Dallas hospital being treated for Ebola, remains in isolation in serious but stable condition
Ebola is believed to have sickened more than 7100 people in West Africa and killed more than 3300, according to the World Health Organization.
Liberia is one of the three hardest-hit countries in the epidemic, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.
