Quite sure they had a Zika virus vaccine completed within a few months after the outbreak. Obviously getting regulatory approval takes much, much longer but people would probably be surprised how quickly such things can be developed.

In China they could probably do the regulatory bit quickly but it still takes a while to test if vaccines are safe and work. I don't any of the stuff being tested in the article are vaccines.
