Diarrhea is a symptom of several diseases, not a disease itself. Therefor there is no vaccine for diarrhea. But there are vaccines for some of the diseases that cause diarrhea as a symptom. However there are also non-disease causes of diarrhea and for these there will never be a vaccine, as there is nothing to vaccinate against.
Diarrhea is also a symptom of several types of poisons as well as radiation sickness and although these can be considered "diseases" or "illnesses", there is no disease causing organism to vaccinate against so there will never be a vaccine.

How does measles vaccine prevent diarrhea?
Children who have measles., or have had the disease in the previous four weeks, have a substantially increased risk of developing severe or fatal diarrhea or dysentery (there is some evidence that the increased risk lasts up to six months after measles). Because of the strong relationship between measles and serious diarrhea, and the effectiveness of measles vaccines, measles immunization is a very cost-effective measure for reducing diarrhea morbidity and deaths. Measles vaccine given at 9 months of age can prevent up to 25% of diarrhea-associated deaths in children under 5 years of age.
