An Ebola vaccine could be available by November for health workers, hard-hit by the killer disease, with testing of two candidate vaccines under way, the World Health Organization said Friday.

"If proven safe, a vaccine could be available in November 2014 for priority use in health-care workers," the U.N.'s health body said in a statement after a two-day crisis meeting.
