Ebola vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co produced virus-fighting antibodies and appear to be safe in children and adults, according to data from two studies published on Wednesday.

Both companies’ vaccines produced antibodies 14 days after the first of two shots and were detectable at varying levels in both children and adults for one year, data from the studies conducted in Western Africa showed.

One regimen tested a dose of J&J’s vaccine, followed by a booster shot of a vaccine from Danish drug-maker Bavarian Nordic , while another tested two doses of Merck’s vaccine with eight weeks in between.“I think the study shows that both the vaccines elicit good antibody responses,” said Dr. H. Clifford Lane, one of the researchers and a clinical director at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health .

The NIH researchers noted that they were unable to assess the actual level of protection against the disease from the vaccines as no participants contracted Ebola during the trial, which began enrollment in 2017. But they said the vaccines were found to be safe for children and adults.
