It is used with another Ebola vaccine called Zabdeno as part of a vaccine regimen. Mvabea contains a virus known as Vaccinia Ankara Bavarian Nordic which has been modified to produce 4 proteins from Zaire ebolavirus and three other viruses of the same group (filoviridae). The modified vaccinia Ankara Bavarian Nordic virus itself has no effect on humans. Mvabea only contains parts of the viruses and cannot cause Ebola virus disease.
