That's my understanding too suziewoozie. The capacity to mass-produce a vaccine is being made available, but we're nowhere near having one.
Thousands of scientists are researching all sorts of issues, such as repurposing of current drugs for treatment and vaccination, the reasons why some people are more affected than others, the actual structure of the virus, the correlation between Covid-19 deaths and diabetes and the use of ACE inhibitors, etc etc.
There are small pockets of volunteers being recruited for trials and various hypotheses based on data. It's known, for example, that the sugary coating of the virus and ACE2 have something to do with how Covid-19 affects different people, but there's a long way to go to find out how that knowledge can be used in practice.
It could be that no vaccine giving life-long protection is ever produced, so it's important that we can learn to treat it better and to identify people most at risk.
Meanwhile, the best that anybody can practically do is keep well away from anybody who could transmit the infection. Without carriers, the infection would eventually die out - and small pockets of outbreaks could be dealt with. If we have diabetes and/or hypertension, it's important we keep our blood sugar under control and try to lead as healthy lifestyle as possible to keep blood pressure in check.
