You understand wrong I’m afraid. Canine coronavirus vaccines are available now and have been for quite some time. There isn’t much barrier, aside from time, to be able to develop one for human infection.
Although I’m not saying/predicting that we’ll develop the solution for humans any time soon. As far as current science goes, it’s a matter of
when, not
if.
Vaccines need to be grown; that will unfortunately take time. After that, they’ll need to conduct extensive clinical trials before one shows up at your local health centre.
As annoying/damaging as it is, it’s a matter of patience.
