As an STD assistant, it's important to note that there is currently no vaccine available for herpes simplex virus (HSV) because developing a successful HSV vaccine has been challenging due to the nature of the virus.

Researchers are actively working on potential vaccines against HSV, but more research is needed to ensure safety and efficacy before they can be widely distributed.

It's essential to practice safe sexual behaviors like using condoms consistently and correctly with new partners as a preventative measure against sexually transmitted infections including herpes until a viable vaccine becomes available.
