Ebola has many strains and this article doesn’t mention what strain this new outbreak is associated with. The vaccines seem to be designed for particular strains (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_vaccine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_vaccine).
Also interesting that Guinea is reliant on the WHO, as the WHO was widely panned for failures in the last big outbreak, which also concerned Guinea and other nearby countries (https://time.com/4123858/ebola-crisis-who-response-failure/ https://time.com/4123858/ebola-crisis-who-response-failure/).
