DALLAS (AP) — A day after a sheriff's deputy in suburban Dallas became ill, state health officials say he doesn't have Ebola. The deputy had been inside the apartment where a Liberian man who died of Ebola had been staying. The deputy is said to be in good condition with no signs of symptoms related to the disease. Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Maryland say three health care workers in Mali have received an experimental Ebola vaccine. If the vaccine appears safe, larger trials could be done in the outbreak zone early next year.
