I suspect that by the time a vaccine is approved it will have gone through human test trials to measure its effectiveness and safety.  Hence, it won't be available until after next fall's flu season.  I keep saying they need to focus on effective treatment so if it does come back in the fall and winter it won't be the disaster it has been this time around. 

The problem is that you have idiots in government and the media saying we can't open the economy until we have a vaccine.  That is absurd and moving the goalposts to an unrealistic place.  Focus on effective treatment and let the vaccine studies happen the way they should.  And I totally agree with you on being first in line for the vaccine.  I'll take a wait and see attitude.....whether it is effective and safe.  As it is I don't usually get the current flu vaccine.  It really only addresses prior year strains.
