There is no known vaccination for the virus yet. Only experimental procedures have been used.

Why is it important for a vaccine to be created to stop a virus?
difficult

Is it difficult to develop vaccine against viruses because a virus can change its genetic code?
No, its because they are so adapted and any attempt to vaccinate them just sort of "upgrades them" So they become immune to that certain vaccine
Why there is no vaccine HIV virus?
The HIV virus has proven difficult to fight for a number of reasons. One of them is the fact that the virus mutates quickly. That means that the virus changes at the genetic level, making finding a vaccine that works for all variants of the virus difficult if not impossible, thus far.
Why is it difficult to develop HIV vaccine?
Part of the problem in developing an effective vaccine so far has been the issue of mutation. The HIV virus mutates, or changes, rapidly. What this means for vaccine research and development is that as we are studying the virus and figuring out what will be effective against it, it changes, making whatever we have so far come up with ineffective.
What is the width of the Ebola virus?
The width of an ebola virus is about 100 nanometers.
