I agree. Cases are so rare where I live that even if the vaccine becomes available in a year or so, it seems exceedingly unlikely that I’d get it before then. Some places are not doing all that badly with this virus.

Can you where where you live where the vaccine wouldn’t be available for another year? It seems from then news it will be a matter of months.
Usa for most people 350mil population 100mil doses a year 2 doses pp you do the math
The initial US batches of Pfizer and Moderna total 150 million doses and it's not clear how much more they will be able to sell the US for delivery next year (perhaps 200 million additional doses...).

And then there are other vaccines that will be available in much larger volumes if they are approved.
