There are a few vaccines that work in animals, they just haven't been funded to go through the trials needed to be widely used in humans. There is a good interview on Montana public radio with one of the leading researchers that touches on this:

(Rocky Mountain Lab in Montana is where a large portion of the ebola research in the nation if not world the world happens and mtpr had gotten some really good interviews as a result.)



Errr, right now one vaccine is being tested on humans in Stage I trials: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/news/newsreleases/2014/Pages/EbolaV...

I can remember seeing pictures of some Malians getting it.
