I'm not sure if they could realistically get a vaccine out quick enough due to the amount of testing required, though things have been incredibly quick on the vaccinedevelopment side of things, relative to any other time in history. Would obviously be happy to be proved wrong if they can get something out to high risk people.

There's been a big push to find faster ways to develop vaccines since SARS (which was also a coronavirus). From what I've read, it's unlikely that a vaccine might make it in time to really save the day, but it might come in time to help in the later stages of the pandemic. Obviously depending on lots of variables. For comparison the swine flu pandemic lasted about two years, and vaccine might be in production about a year from now.
In the meantime, wash your hands people, and cough in your sleeve.
