Human Trials of a vaccine are underway. In the extremely remote possibility that Ebola becomes anything near even SARS in 2003, I think you are going to see that vaccine get mass produced very quick.
If Nigeria got their outbreak under control, I am sure we can. The issue in these African countries has more to do with local traditions, mistrust, and superstitions. I don't think many people in Canada would be openly attacking the vehicles carrying bodies for cremation so they can be retrieved.
At some point the people of these countries need to put aside these things to have any chance to succeed. I am not blaming them, but maybe a much worse outbreak will wake people up there that like Nigeria they need to work together to beat this thing.
