I believe Nobels for mRNA vaccines will come next year or in the year after. There's no urgency when it comes to awarding Nobel Prizes.

Related: Here is an article investigating the delay between discovery and award: https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.2012/full...

As can be seen there the delay is often measured in decades. For medicine many awards around 20 years or more after discovery.

Some urgency since they don't give the award to people that have passed away.
