It stands to reason that if they can come up with a vaccine,that actually works, for the Wuhan flu, they should be able to came up with a vaccine for the common flu.

They have. They just aren’t the best with predicting which “variant” of the flu will be the predominant one to come back in a new season.

If I understand correctly, what we have is not a vaccine. It is a shot that hopes to produce antibodies and has a 30-40% success rate.

If I also correctly interpret anecdotes from a large number of people, recipients of the shots run the risk of developing a *mild* case of the influenza in question. That, in itself, likely is producing antibodies.
