China has approved a domestically developed Ebola vaccine on Thursday, according to the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA).

The vaccine was jointly developed by the Bio-engineering Institute of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences and CanSino Biologics INC.

China owns the total intellectual property rights of the vaccine, which was independently developed in the country.

Its approval makes China the third country to develop a vaccine against Ebola following the United States and Russia.

The vaccine is based on the 2014 mutant gene type and in the form of freeze-dried powder, which can remain stable for at least two weeks in temperatures of up to 37 degrees Celsius and is suitable for the climate in West Africa.

The vaccine was clinical-approved by the CFDA in Feb 2015 and has undergone clinical trials in Sierra Leone, one of the countries worst hit by Ebola.
