Vaccinations to begin in Goma after a visiting pastor tested positive for Ebola.

Vaccinations are to begin in Goma after a visiting pastor tested positive for Ebola. Those who came into contact with him are being vaccinated, but tracking them all down won't be easy. Over 1600 deaths from Ebola have been recorded in eastern Congo in the past year.
