IIRC there's been a few vaccines developed for Ebola that really put a dent in the lethality of the virus.
Of course there's still economic and geopolitical reasons for not vaccinating everyone in the endemic areas, but it's a good start: https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/ebola-vaccines https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/ebo...
EDIT:
NIH says that some of these vaccines have 97-100% effectiveness in certain aspects of slowing the spread of Zaire ebolavirus, meaning that it's not the effective death sentence it was in 2014, at least not for the vaccinated. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8659338/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8659338/
