It sounds like candidate vaccines were designed within weeks, or small few months. It is the testing that take a long time.

It would be cool if we could test a method, rather than a vaccine, and next time just whip up a vaccine with the tested method and apply it quickly.

We got lucky because MERS candidates were in the pipeline, and the best candidate was ready to start because CEPI had already invested in getting an RNA vaccine platform up and running: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_for_Epidemic_Prepa...
