FDA has issued Emergency Use Authorizations for Ebola diagnostic tests, but not for vaccines or drugs/ FDA

The following table is current as of October 27, 2014 per FDA.  Experimental drugs are being authorized on a compassionate use basis, for those already ill from Ebola.  I find no legal authority in the US for using experimental vaccines currently.
