Pandemic of 1890 might be a better example, because it is speculated it was caused by the OC43 coronovirus. It lasted 4 years.

  Although we didn't have access to vaccines back then so it's difficult to compare.

  The pandemic started in 1889. There is strong circumstantial evidence that it was caused by the emergence of OC43 but we can't really prove it. Killed about a million people. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7252012/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7252012/
