The absence of a vaccine enabled the virus to go around unchecked until 1921. It eventually became a seasonal flu strain because there was enough herd immunity or pre-existing immunity.

But it's not like a switch will flip and the pandemic will end the moment a vaccine is available, says Dr Short. "There's not going to come a day where we say, 'OK, on [this date], this will no longer be a problem'. It's going to be a continuum." "What we should eventually see is that once we get vaccines out, the number of cases will go down. On top of that, therapies will improve and the mortality rate will go down. "It'll end with a fizzle instead of a bang."
