Vaccines

Just had to Google it: how come there is a new flu vaccine
each and every year - I know because I get it - and now it's going to take
one and a half to two years at best to find one for covid-19. Eh!?

Well, it turns out that the annual vaccine isn't necessarily aimed at an up and
coming virus. Each country has a mechanism to decide what three or four
influenza types are being targeted for the coming year, and the vaccines themselves
already exist. It is just a matter of producing the vaccine mixes in large quantities.
Sort of a Netflix of vaccines.

Oh!😏
