Its not stupid. Its a new vaccine, to treat a new virus thats is in a class of virus thats never had a vaccine.

if that makes any sense?

the yearly flu vaccines are tweaks to an already understood vaccine, (minor releases) Sometimes there are major releases but thats for a jab that targets a different class of flu (h5n1 vs h1n2)

this is an entirely new vaccine, for a virus that has never had a vaccine, so its more like a v1.0 release on a new platform.
