Coronavirus are not likely to be as difficult to develop a vaccine to as viruses like HIV and flu that have high mutation rates and frequent genetic rearrangements. Always temper expectations, but we have a very good, well defined target (the spike protein), strong proof of concept data from sars and mers, and a huge number of active vaccine development programs for a lot of shots on goal. Temper your expectations, but if you are given an opportunity to place a bet, I'd personally put money down on a vaccine being approved within the next two years over not.
