Many viral vaccines require multiple administrations such as Hepatitis A and B, HPV and so on.
It’s a known fact in the medical community but I understand how this could cause confusion if you are not familiar with vaccines for adults or children ect.
Now what that will cost and who is covering it is a good question.

This virus is not much different in genetic terms than a rhinovirus (aka cold), there is no cure or vaccine against rhinovirus' because they mutate and change protein coatings too frequently
The vaccine might be two initially or not. No one knows anything concrete at this point--all speculation. You can imagine any scenario in your head and it won't be what happens. Much of what people think right now is prob. more fear based, not reality, which I get. Unknown can be hard to deal with.
The flu shot is annually, not perfect, but it decreases the morbidity (illness ) rate and mortality (death) rate significantly.
Dr Fauci said that any vaccine developed for COVID will be temporary in its effectiveness. We will need to get multiple shots depending on how long the vaccine provides protection. It will not be a one and done vaccine.
With this in mind, a vaccine is not a viable solution. There is no way we can make enough vaccines for everyone multiple times a year possibly. Most people dont even get a flu vaccine every year. Getting one or more a year for COVID just isnt going to happen.
We can’t wear masks and socially distance forever. We need a workable solution. A yearly or multiple time a year vaccine like Fauci says a vaccine will be is not a viable solution. I doubt there will even be the production capacity to produce that many vaccines every year or multiple times a year.
I think it is time to just accept the fact that we are not more powerful than God or nature. This virus has us beat and there are no good solutions. The nations that have done a good job fighting the virus have done so through restrictions that they wont be able to maintain forever. Sadly, every nation will have to choose between locking down in some way or letting the virus spread naturally. The first country to figure how to live with the virus without imposing major restrictions or quarantines will be the economic leader of this century.
As usual, the Doctor of gloom and doom always has nothing but negativity to report to keep us locked up and depressed for a long as it works. I wonder who is paying him?

Dr. Fauci:
Masks don’t really work. Oh, wait they do.
There’s going to be 100,000-200,000 dead. Oh, wait it’s going to be around 60,000. Oh, wait, it’s going to be more.
Here’s an article where Dr. Fauci talks about a vaccine in good news terms. Not a word of what he’s saying now. A dartboard has as much credibility as the good doctor.
