1:17Now PlayingThe World Health Organization says there are now more than 600 suspected cases from an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa and at least 139 suspected deaths.

They also warned that a vaccine likely won't be available for up to nine months, while health workers on the ground say they're underprepared to deal with the outbreak.
