Not exactly true.

They can't make a vaccine that will be effective against a specific strain (generally) until that strain actually evolves into being, and so is available for testing.

Any traditional vaccine made to target the current H5N1 strain that's going around (which is NOT very contractible by humans yet) might or might not have any significant degree of effectiveness against a future 'killer pandemic strain'.
