yes they will have enough vaccine for the military and politicians in under 5 years, but for us the public don't even dream of it unless you want to order one from China online... after they work out how to make 1.3 billion shots for themselves.
For a more likely scenario look at Sars and Mers, neither of which have vaccines after 15 years.
Developing a universal vaccine against any influenza or Corona has been within our reach for the past 10 years but no country has been willing to invest the money required, those most against are the vaccine makers themselves as there's MUCH more money to be made by applying a yearly bandaid.
The enormity of the task ahead can only be achieved by a multi-nation attack that's directed from one source with a common goal.

There are at least two vaccines being tested in the US right now, plus treatment.
SARS and MERS research is being repurposed. The reason it wasn't worthwhile to finish the work on those is because they didn't turn out to be that widespread a big problem.
We don't have a World Dictator, so the idea of directing all measures from one source is happily just ridiculous science fiction fantasy.
When countries are using martial law against their own people, that is not usually a good sign that somebody needs bigger more centralized power.
