Calling H7N9 "flu strain of the month" belittles the consequences of a deadly and possibly pandemic strain of flu. Should the threat become more immediate, and FluCide prove effective in vivo, all development will greatly accelerate. Tamiflu would not have been approved had it not been for the Bird Flu threat in 2005-2006.
Have you ever watched Outbreak? That's how fast countermeasures can be developed and approved in emergency situations caused by a pandemic threat.
H7N9 still has one more season, at the least, before it mutates and recombines into a pandemic form. There is still that much time. I think it's great that pandemic threats can be identified a year or more in advance. So, in the meantime, someone somewhere will be working hard on a vaccine. Keep in mind, after 8 years there is still no human vaccine for H5N1.
