Long- term immunology follow-up: In order to assess the durability of vaccine induced immunogenicity, all vaccinated subjects will be invited back to attend a maximum of 3 further optional follow up visits at least 12 months after their final vaccination. The 3 visits will have a minimum interval of 3 months between them, and the final visit must take place no longer than 12 months after the first optional visit.
Volunteers who attend these visits will be asked about occurrence of any SAEs during the intervening period. SAE data for this period will not be collected in those volunteers who decline to attend these additional visits.

- Safety and tolerability of the Ebola Zaire vaccine cAd3-EBO Z when administered to healthy volunteers at 3 doses [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The specific endpoints for safety and reactogenicity will be actively and passively collected data on adverse events.
- Cellular and humoral immunogenicity of the Ebola Zaire vaccine cAd3-EBO Z when administered to healthy volunteers at 3 doses [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The primary immunogenicity outcome measures are ELISA and neutralization antigen-specific assays for antibody responses and intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay for T cell responses.
