I don't know what article you are talking about, but Cimavax has never been used as a "preventative" vaccine. The only way it has been used is to attack existing cancer.
But any discovery like this could lead to a preventative vaccine down the road. That is how the war against cancer will be won. Little victories here and there. I don't think they will come up with any "universal" cure to all the cancers out there any time soon.
