We’d have to wait to get an approval code from insurance first!

No.
COVID-19 has mutated quite some distance from whatever was the original source virus. That mutation continues. It is very unlikely that a SARS vaccine would be effective against COVID-19.
Like the cold and flu viruses, there will be multiple strains emerging in every new season, and for this reason, it is unlikely there will ever be an effective vaccine.
The best chance is with new classes of anti-viral drugs. There appears to have been limited successes with HIV and Ebola anti-virals. These need follow-ups. Lots of experimental trials going on now. These must be expanded.
It is also possible that COVID-19 will mutate into less lethal and less contagious forms over time.

Rule of thumb, when any headline asks a question, the answer is almost always NO.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

The advantage of this one is, while it might not be an exact match, it is already through trials and is approved, so it just needs to be manufactured. Although I would expect someone would be running a clinical trial to see how well it does against this new virus.
Still, if you had a 30% chance of this working, and it was tested and found safe.......
