Right, even once the vaccine is available (or various vaccines as appears to be the case), I think there will be a huge issue with people actually getting it. If some people aren't willing to put a piece of cloth over their nose and mouth for the time it takes to go grocery shopping, do we really expect them to take a brand new fast-tracked vaccine? There are already a lot of people who don't trust the flu vaccine, and that's something that's been around and proven safe & effective for years.
I also think there will be a lot of logistical issues with the vaccines once they are released for use, such as the super low temperatures required in storing and shipping. And at least one of the vaccines being talked about requires 2 doses a couple of weeks apart, and I can see people going and getting that first dose and then forgetting or not bothering to go back for the follow-up.
