Considering how many countries are panicking over the virus, and how much research is being shared, we should hopefully see a vaccine soon.

So far no vaccine has ever been developed for a human coronavirus. That includes SARS-COV (2003), MERS and the two common cold coronaviruses. So I wouldn't be counting on a vaccine being developed for SARS-COV-2 any time soon.

if it's anything like the flu, the virus mutates and even with yearly vaccines 3-5 million people get sick and half a million die
