I thought this was Marburg, but apparently it was Lassa fever. LINK
and here is an article on the vaccine for that disease:
the reason DARPA invented the mRNA technology was to get a vaccine quickly for the next infectious disease coming out of Africa.
there is an experimental Marburg vaccine according to the 2010 article:
The experimental Marburg vaccine is based on a weakened vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) used to carry and display a component of the Marburg virus. VSV is an infectious disease of horses, cattle and pigs. Dr. Feldmann and his colleagues also have developed a similar experimental VSV-based vaccine against Ebola. Both vaccines are recognized by the same immune cells in the body as Ebola and Marburg viruses, activating the immune system to fight off the target virus.
