GENEVA --A clinical trial of an Ebola vaccine has been suspended in all 59 volunteers in Geneva a week early “as a measure of precaution” after four patients complained of joint pains in hands and feet, the University of Geneva hospital said.
“They are all fine and being monitored regularly by the medical team leading the study,” it said on Thursday.
The human safety trials of the vaccine being developed by the pharmaceutical firms Merck and NewLink are scheduled to resume on 5 January in up to 15 volunteers after checks to ensure that the joint pain symptoms were “benign and temporary”, the hospital added.

Ebola vaccine trial interruption 'not a setback': WHO
AFP Dec. 11, 2014
Geneva -- The suspension of trials in Switzerland of an experimental Ebola vaccine over unexpected side-effects is not a setback in the fight against the deadly virus, the World Health Organization insisted Thursday.
The Geneva University Hospital (HUG) announced Thursday it was suspending trials of one of two experimental vaccines being tested on humans in several countries, after several volunteers experienced unexpected joint pains.
But WHO assistant director general Marie-Paule Kieny insisted the hospital's decision to suspend the trials of the VSV-ZEBOV vaccine a week ahead of plan should not be considered a big deal.
"It's not a setback," she told reporters in Geneva.
